Garage exposes some internal metrics in the Prometheus data format.
This page explains how to exploit these metrics.
## Setting up monitoring
### Enabling the Admin API endpoint
If you have not already enabled the [administration API endpoint](@/documentation/reference-manual/admin-api.md), do so by adding the following lines to your configuration file:
```toml
[admin]
api_bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:3903"
```
This will allow anyone to scrape Prometheus metrics by fetching
`http://localhost:3093/metrics`. If you want to restrict access
to the exported metrics, set the `metrics_token` configuration value
to a bearer token to be used when fetching the metrics endpoint.
### Setting up Prometheus and Grafana
Add a scrape config to your Prometheus daemon to scrape metrics from
all of your nodes:
```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'garage'
static_configs:
- targets:
- 'node1.mycluster:3903'
- 'node2.mycluster:3903'
- 'node3.mycluster:3903'
```
If you have set a metrics token in your Garage configuration file,
add the following lines in your Prometheus scrape config:
```yaml
authorization:
type: Bearer
credentials: 'your metrics token'
```
To visualize the scraped data in Grafana,
you can either import our [Grafana dashboard for Garage](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/raw/branch/main/script/telemetry/grafana-garage-dashboard-prometheus.json)
or make your own.
We detail below the list of exposed metrics and their meaning.

- Each machine has a public IP address which is reachable by other machines.
Running behind a NAT is likely to be possible but hasn't been tested for the latest version (TODO).
- Ideally, each machine should have a SSD available in addition to the HDD you are dedicating
to Garage. This will allow for faster access to metadata and has the potential
to significantly reduce Garage's response times.

For instance, here, the Mercury node could be moved to Brussels; this would allow the cluster
to store 2 TB of data in total.
### Best practices
- If you have fast dedicated networking between all your nodes, and are planing to store
very large files, bump the `block_size` configuration parameter to 10 MB
(`block_size = 10485760`).
- Garage stores its files in two locations: it uses a metadata directory to store frequently-accessed
small metadata items, and a data directory to store data blocks of uploaded objects.
Ideally, the metadata directory would be stored on an SSD (smaller but faster),
and the data directory would be stored on an HDD (larger but slower).
- For the data directory, Garage already does checksumming and integrity verification,
so there is no need to use a filesystem such as BTRFS or ZFS that does it.
We recommend using XFS for the data partition, as it has the best performance.
Ext4 is not recommended as it has more strict limitations on the number of inodes,
which might cause issues with Garage when large numbers of objects are stored.
- If you only have an HDD and no SSD, it's fine to put your metadata alongside the data
on the same drive. Having lots of RAM for your kernel to cache the metadata will
help a lot with performance. Make sure to use the LMDB database engine,
instead of Sled, which suffers from quite bad performance degradation on HDDs.
Sled is still the default for legacy reasons, but is not recommended anymore.
- For the metadata storage, Garage does not do checksumming and integrity
verification on its own. If you are afraid of bitrot/data corruption,
put your metadata directory on a BTRFS partition. Otherwise, just use regular
EXT4 or XFS.
- Having a single server with several storage drives is currently not very well
supported in Garage ([#218](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/218)).
For an easy setup, just put all your drives in a RAID0 or a ZFS RAIDZ array.
If you're adventurous, you can try to format each of your disk as
a separate XFS partition, and then run one `garage` daemon per disk drive,
or use something like [`mergerfs`](https://github.com/trapexit/mergerfs) to merge
all your disks in a single union filesystem that spreads load over them.
