Prometheus Metrics

NetBox supports optionally exposing native Prometheus metrics from the application. Prometheus is a popular time series metric platform used for monitoring.

NetBox exposes metrics at the /metrics HTTP endpoint, e.g. https://netbox.local/metrics. Metric exposition can be toggled with the METRICS_ENABLED configuration setting. Metrics are exposed by default.

Metric Types

NetBox makes use of the django-prometheus library to export a number of different types of metrics, including:

• Per model insert, update, and delete counters
• Per view request counters
• Per view request latency histograms
• Request body size histograms
• Response body size histograms
• Response code counters
• Database connection, execution, and error counters
• Cache hit, miss, and invalidation counters
• Django middleware latency histograms
• Other Django related metadata metrics

For the exhaustive list of exposed metrics, visit the /metrics endpoint on your NetBox instance.
