This directory contains some sample monitoring config for using the 'Prometheus' monitoring server against synapse. To use it, first install prometheus by following the instructions at http://prometheus.io/ Then add a new job to the main prometheus.conf file: job: { name: "synapse" target_group: { target: "http://SERVER.LOCATION.HERE:PORT/_synapse/metrics" } } Metrics are disabled by default when running synapse; they must be enabled with the 'enable-metrics' option, either in the synapse config file or as a command-line option.
