# GitLab Prometheus metrics
To enable the GitLab Prometheus metrics:
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
1. Log into GitLab as a user with [administrator permissions ](../../../user/permissions.md ).
1. Navigate to ** {admin}** **Admin Area > Settings > Metrics and profiling** .
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
1. Find the **Metrics - Prometheus** section, and click **Enable Prometheus Metrics** .
1. [Restart GitLab ](../../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-restart ) for the changes to take effect.

2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
For installations from source you must configure it yourself.
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
## Collecting the metrics
GitLab monitors its own internal service metrics, and makes them available at the
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
`/-/metrics` endpoint. Unlike other [Prometheus ](https://prometheus.io ) exporters, to access
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
the metrics, the client IP address must be [explicitly allowed ](../ip_whitelist.md ).
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
For [Omnibus GitLab ](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/ ) and Chart installations,
these metrics are enabled and collected as of
[GitLab 9.4 ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/merge_requests/1702 ).
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
For source installations, these metrics must be enabled
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
manually and collected by a Prometheus server.
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
For enabling and viewing metrics from Sidekiq nodes, see [Sidekiq metrics ](#sidekiq-metrics ).

## Redis metrics
These client metrics are meant to complement Redis server metrics.
These metrics are broken down per [Redis
instance](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/redis.html#running-with-multiple-redis-instances).
These metrics all have a `storage` label which indicates the Redis
instance (`cache`, `shared_state` etc.).
| Metric | Type | Since | Description |
|:--------------------------------- |:------- |:----- |:----------- |
| `gitlab_redis_client_exceptions_total` | Counter | 13.2 | Number of Redis client exceptions, broken down by exception class |
| `gitlab_redis_client_requests_total` | Counter | 13.2 | Number of Redis client requests |
| `gitlab_redis_client_requests_duration_seconds` | Histogram | 13.2 | Redis request latency, excluding blocking commands |

## Metrics shared directory
GitLab's Prometheus client requires a directory to store metrics data shared between multi-process services.
Those files are shared among all instances running under Unicorn server.
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
The directory must be accessible to all running Unicorn's processes, or
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
metrics can't function correctly.
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
This directory's location is configured using environment variable `prometheus_multiproc_dir` .
For best performance, create this directory in `tmpfs` .
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
If GitLab is installed using [Omnibus GitLab ](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/ )
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
and `tmpfs` is available, then GitLab configures the metrics directory for you.
