Customised IPFS dashboard


I have a customised IPFS (created and maintained by someone else). I want to design the dashboard for this customised IPFS Private cluster (like the IPFS desktop for the nodes information). I am researching for Prometheus and Grafana service. What are the ways to achieve this task? I am new to IPFS. Please guide.

Edit: Recently I tried to get IPFS metrics using Prometheus. http://localhost:5001/debug/metrics/prometheus gives some metric information but not sure it has complete information like peers, files etc info. Are there any Prometheus exporters for IPFS? Or how could I use https://docs.ipfs.io/reference/http/api/#getting-started API data for Grafana?


Solution

  • You may need to export custom metrics, but the Prometheus endpoint seems like a reasonable place to start.
