When you'd like **to collect metrics from an external Prometheus server**, you need to expose service metrics outside of the container network.
The playbook provides a single endpoint (`https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/*`), under which various services may expose their metrics (e.g. `/metrics/node-exporter`, `/metrics/postgres-exporter`, `/metrics/hookshot`, etc). To enable this `/metrics/*` feature, use `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_enabled`.

To expose all services on this `/metrics/*` feature, use `matrix_metrics_exposure_enabled`. To protect access using [Basic Authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication), see `matrix_metrics_exposure_http_basic_auth_enabled` and `matrix_metrics_exposure_http_basic_auth_users` below.
When using `matrix_metrics_exposure_enabled`, you don't need to expose metrics for individual services one by one.
The following variables may be of interest:
Name | Description
-----|----------
`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_enabled`|Set this to `true` to enable metrics exposure for various services on `https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/*`. Refer to the individual `matrix_SERVICE_metrics_proxying_enabled` variables below for exposing metrics for each individual service.
`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_enabled`|Set this to `true` to protect all `https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/*` endpoints with [Basic Authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication) (see the other variables below for supplying the actual credentials). When enabled, all endpoints beneath `/metrics` will be protected with the same credentials
`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_username`|Set this to the Basic Authentication username you'd like to protect `/metrics/*` with. You also need to set `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_password`. If one username/password pair is not enough, you can leave the `username` and `password` variables unset and use `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_raw_content` instead
`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_password`|Set this to the Basic Authentication password you'd like to protect `/metrics/*` with
`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_raw_content`|Set this to the Basic Authentication credentials (raw `htpasswd` file content) used to protect `/metrics/*`. This htpasswd-file needs to be generated with the `htpasswd` tool and can include multiple username/password pairs. If you only need one credential, use `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_username` and `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_password` instead.
`matrix_metrics_exposure_enabled`|Set this to `true` to **enable metrics exposure for all services** on `https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/*`. If you think this is too much, refer to the helpful (but nonexhaustive) list of individual `matrix_SERVICE_metrics_proxying_enabled` variables below for exposing metrics on a per-service basis.

`matrix_media_repo_metrics_enabled`|Set this to `true` to make media-repo expose metrics (locally, on the container network)
Example for how to make use of `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_additional_user_location_configuration_blocks` for exposing additional metrics locations:
Using `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_additional_user_location_configuration_blocks` only takes effect if `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_enabled: true` (see above).
Note : The playbook will hash the basic_auth password for you on setup. Thus, you need to give the plain-text version of the password as a variable.
### Collecting Synapse worker metrics to an external Prometheus server
If you are using workers (`matrix_synapse_workers_enabled: true`) and have enabled `matrix_synapse_metrics_proxying_enabled` as described above, the playbook will also automatically expose all Synapse worker threads' metrics to `https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/synapse/worker/ID`, where `ID` corresponds to the worker `id` as exemplified in `matrix_synapse_workers_enabled_list`.
The playbook can provide a single endpoint (`https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/*`), under which various services may expose their metrics (e.g. `/metrics/node-exporter`, `/metrics/postgres-exporter`, `/metrics/nginxlog`, etc). To enable this `/metrics/*` feature, use `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_enabled`. To protect access using [Basic Authentication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication), see `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_enabled`.
The following variables may be of interest:
Name | Description
-----|----------

`prometheus_postgres_exporter_enabled`|Enable the postgres prometheus exporter. This sets up the docker container, connects it to the database and adds a 'job' to the prometheus config which tells prometheus about this new exporter. The default is 'false'
`prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_username`| The 'username' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database. The default is 'matrix_prometheus_postgres_exporter'
`prometheus_postgres_exporter_database_password`| The 'password' for the user that the exporter uses to connect to the database. By default, this is auto-generated by the playbook
`matrix_prometheus_services_proxy_connect_prometheus_postgres_exporter_metrics_proxying_enabled`|If set to `true`, exposes the Postgres exporter metrics on `https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/postgres-exporter` for usage with an [external Prometheus server](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#collecting-metrics-to-an-external-prometheus-server) (only takes effect if `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_enabled: true`)
`matrix_prometheus_services_proxy_connect_prometheus_postgres_exporter_metrics_proxying_enabled`|If set to `true`, exposes the Postgres exporter metrics on `https://matrix.DOMAIN/metrics/postgres-exporter` for usage with an [external Prometheus server](configuring-playbook-prometheus-grafana.md#collecting-metrics-to-an-external-prometheus-server).

# Controls whether proxying for (Prometheus) metrics (`/metrics/*`) for the various services should be done (on the matrix domain)
# If the internal Prometheus server (`matrix-prometheus` role) is used, proxying is not necessary, since Prometheus can access each container directly.
# This is only useful when an external Prometheus will be collecting metrics.
#
# To control what kind of metrics are exposed under `/metrics/` (e.g `/metrics/node-exporter`, `/metrics/postgres-exporter`, etc.),
# use `matrix_SERVICE_metrics_proxying_enabled` variables in each respective role.
# Roles inject themselves into the matrix-nginx-proxy configuration.
#
# To protect the metrics endpoints, see `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_enabled`
# Controls whether Basic Auth is enabled for all `/metrics/*` endpoints.
#
# You can provide the Basic Auth credentials in 2 ways:
# 1. A single username/password pair using `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_username` and `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_password`
# 2. Using raw content (`htpasswd`-generated file) provided in `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_raw_content`
# `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_raw_content` value will be written verbatim to the htpasswd file protecting `/metrics/*` endpoints.
# Use this when a single username/password is not enough and you'd like to get more control over credentials.
#
# Read the manpage at `man 1 htpasswd` to learn more, then encrypt your password, and paste the encrypted value here.
# e.g. `htpasswd -c mypass.htpasswd prometheus` and enter `mysecurepw` when prompted yields `prometheus:$apr1$wZhqsn.U$7LC3kMmjUbjNAZjyMyvYv/`
# The whole thing is needed here. matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_metrics_basic_auth_raw_content: "prometheus:$apr1$wZhqsn.U$7LC3kMmjUbjNAZjyMyvYv/"
