Looking for the plugin's configuration parameters? You can find them in the Prometheus configuration reference doc.
Expose metrics related to Kong and proxied upstream services in Prometheus exposition format, which can be scraped by a Prometheus Server.
Metrics tracked by this plugin are available on both the Admin API and Status
API at the http://localhost:<port>/metrics
endpoint. Note that the URL to those APIs will be specific to your
installation; see Accessing the metrics.
This plugin records and exposes metrics at the node level. Your Prometheus
server will need to discover all Kong nodes via a service discovery mechanism,
and consume data from each node’s configured /metrics
endpoint.
Grafana dashboard
Metrics exported by the plugin can be graphed in Grafana using a drop-in dashboard: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/7424-kong-official/.
Available metrics
- DB reachability: A gauge type with a value of 0 or 1, which represents whether DB can be reached by a Kong node.
-
Connections: Various Nginx connection metrics like active, reading, writing, and number of accepted connections.
- Dataplane Status: The last seen timestamp, config hash, config sync status and certificate expiration timestamp for data plane nodes is exported to control plane.
- Enterprise License Information: The Kong Gateway license expiration date, features and license signature. Those metrics are only exported on Kong Gateway.
- DB Entity Count : A gauge metric that measures the current number of database entities.
- Number of Nginx timers : A gauge metric that measures the total number of Nginx timers, in Running or Pending state.
Metrics disabled by default
Following metrics are disabled by default as it may create high cardinality of metrics and may cause performance issues:
Status code metrics
When status_code_metrics
is set to true http_requests_total
, stream_sessions_total
metrics will be exported.
-
Status codes: HTTP status codes returned by Kong.
-
http_requests_total
: HTTP status codes per consumer/service/route at Kong. -
stream_session_total
: Stream status codes per service/route in Kong.
-
Latency metrics
When latency_metrics
is set to true:
-
Latencies Histograms: Latency (in ms), as measured at Kong:
- Request: Total time taken by Kong and upstream services to serve requests.
- Kong: Time taken for Kong to route a request and run all configured plugins.
- Upstream: Time taken by the upstream service to respond to requests.
Bandwidth metrics
When bandwidth_metrics
is set to true:
- Bandwidth: Total Bandwidth (egress/ingress) flowing through Kong. This metric is available per service and as a sum across all services.
Upstream health metrics
When upstream_health_metrics
is set to true:
-
Target Health: The healthiness status (
healthchecks_off
,healthy
,unhealthy
, ordns_error
) of targets belonging to a given upstream as well as their subsystem (http
orstream
).
AI LLM metrics
All the following AI LLM metrics are available per provider, model, cache, database name (if cached), embeddings provider (if cached), embeddings model (if cached), and workspace.
When ai_llm_metrics
is set to true:
- AI Requests: AI request sent to LLM providers.
- AI Cost: AI Cost charged by LLM providers.
- AI Tokens: AI Tokens counted by LLM providers. These are also available per token type in addition to the options listed previously.
- AI LLM Latency: Time taken to return a response by LLM providers.
- AI Cache Fetch Latency: Time taken to return a response from the cache.
- AI Cache Embeddings Latency: Time taken to generate embedding during the cache.
For more details, see AI Metrics.

Note: Upstream targets’ health information is exported once per subsystem. If both stream and HTTP listeners are enabled, targets’ health will appear twice. Health metrics have a
subsystem
label to indicate which subsystem the metric refers to.
Accessing the metrics
In most configurations, the Kong Admin API will be behind a firewall or would
need to be set up to require authentication. Here are a couple of options to
allow access to the /metrics
endpoint to Prometheus:
-
If the Status API is enabled, then its
/metrics
endpoint can be used. This is the preferred method. -
The
/metrics
endpoint is also available on the Admin API, which can be used if the Status API is not enabled. Note that this endpoint is unavailable when RBAC is enabled on the Admin API (Prometheus does not support Key-Auth to pass the token).
