Monitoring

The HTTP server in Routinator provides endpoints for monitoring the application on the following paths:

/version

Returns the version of the Routinator instance

/metrics

Exposes exhaustive time series data specifically for Prometheus, containing metrics on all trust anchors, repositories, RRDP and rsync connections, as well as RTR and HTTP sessions. If desired, dedicated port 9556 is allocated for the exporter.

/api/v1/status

Returns exhaustive information in JSON format on all trust anchors, repositories, RRDP and rsync connections, as well as RTR and HTTP sessions. This data set provides the source for the Routinator user interface.

/status

Returns a subset of the metrics information in a concise plain text format

Metrics

Update metrics

• When the last update started and finished

• The total duration of the last update

• The retrieval duration and exit code for each rsync publication point

• The retrieval duration and HTTP status code for each RRDP publication point

Object metrics

• For each cryptographic object that can appear in the RPKI, the number of valid, invalid and stale items per trust anchor and repository

• The number of validated ROA payloads (VRPs) per Trust Anchor and repository

• The number of VRPs added and excluded locally

RTR server

• The current RTR serial number

• The current number of RTR connections

• The total amount of bytes sent and received over the RTR connection

• Metrics for each RTR client is available if the --rtr-client-metrics option is provided

HTTP server

• The current number of HTTP connections

• The total amount of bytes sent and received over the HTTP connection

• The number of HTTP requests

Refer to the Reference section for a complete overview for all metrics in the JSON format and the Prometheus format.

Grafana

Using the Prometheus endpoint it’s possible to build a detailed dashboard using for example Grafana. We provide a template to get started.
