Prometheus

EMQX Broker provides emqx_statsd (opens new window) plug-in, which is used to output the monitoring data of the system to the third-party monitoring system.

emqx_statsd supports pushing data to Pushgateway, which is then pulled by Promethues Server for storage.

Tip

emqx_statsd does not support the pull operation of Prometheus.
