How to enable /metrics endpoint on InfluxDB

I have a running instance of InfluxDB in my kubernetes cluster.

According to documentation I'm supposed being able to monitor my instance scrapping the /metrics endpoint with prometheus.

Unfortunately anytimes I'm hitting GET my-influx:8086/metrics I got the following error message :

{
 "code":"forbidden",
 "message":"metrics disabled"
}

I cannot find anything related to some kind of activation in the doc, neither got a response on their slack server.

Hope to have more chance here !

Solution

  • Do you have disabled the metrics endpoint, either by setting --metrics-disabled command line flag, environment variable INFLUXD_METRICS_DISABLED=true or config value metrics-disabled: true?
