Prometheus Integration

Passing metrics to other platforms

If you already use Prometheus.io or a platform that supports Prometheus exporter format, you can get the metrics about each monitoring target from http://<your.installation>:<your_port>/metrics.

Labels to filter by include:

Label Name	Description
monitor_name	The "Friendly Name" of the monitor
monitor_type	The type (HTTP, keyword, TCP) of monitoring check
monitor_url	The URL to be monitored (HTTP, keyword)
monitor_hostname	The Hostname to be monitored (TCP)
monitor_port	The port to be monitored (TCP)

Prometheus Configuration

Put the following into your Prometheus config:

  - job_name: 'uptime'
    scrape_interval: 30s
    scheme: http
    metrics_path: '/metrics'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['uptime-kuma.url']
    basic_auth: # Only needed if authentication is enabled (default) 
      username: <your user>
      password: <your password>

You should see the monitor_response_time and monitor_status metrics showing up in Prometheus

There is also a Grafana Dashboard available to import into your Grafana installation to get the metrics integrated with your other monitoring tools.

Example PromQL queries

Assuming we have HTTP monitors in place for bbc.co.uk and google.com:

# Show all response rates grouped by site
sum(monitor_response_time) by (monitor_name)
# Show only the response time for BBC.co.uk
sum(monitor_response_time{monitor_url="https://www.bbc.co.uk/"})
# Show the current status of Google.com
monitor_status{monitor_name="Google"}
