Query Nebula Graph metrics

Nebula Graph supports querying the monitoring metrics through HTTP ports.

Metrics

Each metric of Nebula Graph consists of three fields: name, type, and time range. The fields are separated by periods, for example, num_queries.sum.600. Different Nebula Graph services (Graph, Storage, or Meta) support different metrics. The detailed description is as follows.

Field Example Description
Metric name num_queries Indicates the function of the metric.
Metric type sum Indicates how the metrics are collected. Supported types are SUM, COUNT, AVG, RATE, and the P-th sample quantiles such as P75, P95, P99, and P99.9.
Time range 600 The time range in seconds for the metric collection. Supported values are 5, 60, 600, and 3600, representing the last 5 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 1 hour.

Query metrics over HTTP

Syntax

curl -G "http://<ip>:<port>/stats?stats=<metric_name_list> [&format=json]"
Parameter Description
ip The IP address of the server. You can find it in the configuration file in the installation directory.
port The HTTP port of the server. You can find it in the configuration file in the installation directory. The default ports are 19559 (Meta), 19669 (Graph), and 19779 (Storage).
metric_name_list The metrics names. Multiple metrics are separated by commas (,).
&format=json Optional. Returns the result in the JSON format.

Note

If Nebula Graph is deployed with Docker Compose, run docker-compose ps to check the ports that are mapped from the service ports inside of the container and then query through them.

Examples

  • Query a single metric

    Query the query number in the last 10 minutes in the Graph Service.

    $ curl -G "http://192.168.8.40:19669/stats?stats=num_queries.sum.600"
    num_queries.sum.600=400
    
  • Query multiple metrics

    Query the following metrics together:

    • The average heartbeat latency in the last 1 minute.
    • The average latency of the slowest 1% heartbeats, i.e., the P99 heartbeats, in the last 10 minutes.

      $ curl -G "http://192.168.8.40:19559/stats?stats=heartbeat_latency_us.avg.60,heartbeat_latency_us.p99.600"
      heartbeat_latency_us.avg.60=281
      heartbeat_latency_us.p99.600=985
      
  • Return a JSON result.

    Query the number of new vertices in the Storage Service in the last 10 minutes and return the result in the JSON format.

    $ curl -G "http://192.168.8.40:19779/stats?stats=num_add_vertices.sum.600&format=json"
    [{"value":1,"name":"num_add_vertices.sum.600"}]
    
  • Query all metrics in a service.

    If no metric is specified in the query, Nebula Graph returns all metrics in the service.

    $ curl -G "http://192.168.8.40:19559/stats"
    heartbeat_latency_us.avg.5=304
    heartbeat_latency_us.avg.60=308
    heartbeat_latency_us.avg.600=299
    heartbeat_latency_us.avg.3600=285
    heartbeat_latency_us.p75.5=652
    heartbeat_latency_us.p75.60=669
    heartbeat_latency_us.p75.600=651
    heartbeat_latency_us.p75.3600=642
    heartbeat_latency_us.p95.5=930
    heartbeat_latency_us.p95.60=963
    heartbeat_latency_us.p95.600=933
    heartbeat_latency_us.p95.3600=929
    heartbeat_latency_us.p99.5=986
    heartbeat_latency_us.p99.60=1409
    heartbeat_latency_us.p99.600=989
    heartbeat_latency_us.p99.3600=986
    num_heartbeats.rate.5=0
    num_heartbeats.rate.60=0
    num_heartbeats.rate.600=0
    num_heartbeats.rate.3600=0
    num_heartbeats.sum.5=2
    num_heartbeats.sum.60=40
    num_heartbeats.sum.600=394
    num_heartbeats.sum.3600=2364
