📊 Prometheus integration for Nuxt 3

Allows you to better understand what's going on with your application and how to optimize performance and other things in production. Nuxt 2 users can use this version.

Limitations

Due to this issue in ofetch package @artmizu/nuxt-prometheus cannot detect network requests which take place through useFetch or $fetch, because they both use ofetch inside. So on the /metrics page, you don't see any request time related to ofetch. Future investigation will take place here.

For now request measurment time is disabled by default.

Features

  • Default NodeJS metrics exported through the prometheus middleware
  • Custom metrics about pages render time and external request consumption time
  • Health check middleware

Default routes that you can customise via the module options

  • /metrics - prometheus metrics
  • /health - health check

Installation

Install package via a package manager:

# using nuxi, it automatically appends the module in your nuxt.config
npx nuxi@latest module add prometheus

# using npm
npm install @artmizu/nuxt-prometheus

# using yarn
yarn add @artmizu/nuxt-prometheus

# using pnpm
pnpm add @artmizu/nuxt-prometheus

Add it to a modules section of your nuxt config:

export default {
  modules: ['@artmizu/nuxt-prometheus']
}

Grafana sample setup

Once the metrics have been collected by Prometheus, you will want to review them. I use Grafana for this purpose, and my metrics setup looks something like this: Cover
