Metrics

The ElastiFlow Unified Collectors expose the /metrics endpoint to provide Prometheus-compatible statistics related to its performance and the resources it uses.

The endpoint returns data in a Prometheus text-based exposition format. Please refer to the Prometheus documentation to learn more.

Statistics

This section describes the statistics that can be retrieved from the /metrics endpoint.
