title="Gaining insights with metrics"
summary="Collect metrics to gain insights about state and activities of a running instance of {project_name}."
includedOptions="metrics-enabled http-metrics-* cache-metrics-*">
{project_name} has built in support for metrics. This {section} describes how to enable and configure server metrics.
== Enabling Metrics
It is possible to enable metrics using the build time option `metrics-enabled`:
<@kc.start parameters="--metrics-enabled=true"/>
== Querying Metrics
{project_name} exposes metrics at the following endpoint on the management interface at:
* `/metrics`
For more information about the management interface, see <@links.server id="management-interface" />.
The response from the endpoint uses a `application/openmetrics-text` content type and it is based on the Prometheus (OpenMetrics) text format. The snippet below
is an example of a response:
