Introduction
For our NATS monitoring we’re using the prometheus-nats exporter (https://github.com/nats-io/prometheus-nats-exporter ) Please note - on our NATS helm chart, this is automatically included with the installation, and you don’t need to deploy your own version.
Configuration
Prometheus does not require any additional configuration for NATS scraping, as Prometheus does scrape known metrics by default. Provide the NATS dashboard with the Prometheus data Source we configured at the start.
If the metrics dont display please check your statefulset to make sure that prefix=nats changes to → prefix=gnatsd
...
Dashboard
We use the NATS dashboard with the code : 2279 (https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/2279-nats-servers/)
