# Metrics

更直接（希望更好）的统计导出方式。

## 相关配置

可以在 inbounds 配置中增加一个 metrics 的 inbound

```json
    "inbounds": [
        {
            "listen": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 11111,
            "protocol": "dokodemo-door",
            "settings": {
                "address": "127.0.0.1"
            },
            "tag": "metrics_in"
        }
    ]
```

在路由配置中增加针对 metrics inbound 的路由规则

```json
    "routing": {
        "rules": [
            {
                "type": "field",
                "inboundTag": [
                    "metrics_in"
                ],
                "outboundTag": "metrics_out"
            }
        ]
    }
```

在基础配置中增加 metrics

```json
    "metrics": {
        "tag": "metrics_out"
    }
```

## 使用方法

### pprof

Access `http://127.0.0.1:11111/debug/pprof/` or use go tool pprof to start profiling or inspect running goroutines.

### expvars

Access `http://127.0.0.1:11111/debug/vars`

Variables exported include:
* `stats` includes statistics about inbounds, outbounds and users
* `observatory` includes observatory results

for example with [luci-app-xray](https://github.com/yichya/luci-app-xray) you are likely to get a result like this (standard expvar things like `cmdline` and `memstats` are omitted)

To get a better view of these numbers, [Netdata](https://github.com/netdata/netdata) (with python.d plugin) is a great option:

1. Edit related configuration file (`sudo /etc/netdata/edit-config python.d/go_expvar.conf`)
2. Take the following configuration file as an example:

And you will get a nice plot like this:

### Additional
Maybe reusing the empty object `stats` in config file is better than adding `metrics` here?

**Edit:** removed prometheus related things and added usage about expvars
