Enabling Metrics in Traefik
To activate metrics inside of Traefik, we need to configure it in the values.yaml of the Traefik helm chart. Similar to what we have below.
dashboard:
enabled: true
metrics:
prometheus:
enabled: true
Confirm metrics are working
Next, we need to check and make sure that traefik is reporting the stats we need for Prometheus:
$ curl -s "http://traefik:8080/metrics
# HELP go_gc_duration_seconds A summary of the GC invocation durations.
# TYPE go_gc_duration_seconds summary
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0"} 6.8114e-05
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.25"} 0.000139405
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.5"} 0.00015938
go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.75"} 0.000227684
