# Prometheus

To monitor the WireGuard server, you can use Prometheus and Grafana. The container exposes a `/metrics/prometheus` endpoint that can be scraped by Prometheus.

## Enable Prometheus

To enable Prometheus metrics, go to Admin Panel > General and enable Prometheus.

You can optionally set a Bearer Password for the metrics endpoints. This is useful if you want to expose the metrics endpoint to the internet.

## Configure Prometheus

You need to add a scrape config to your Prometheus configuration file. Here is an example:

    scrape_configs:
        - job_name: 'wg-easy'
          scrape_interval: 30s
          metrics_path: /metrics/prometheus
          static_configs:
              - targets:
                    - 'localhost:51821'
          authorization:
              type: Bearer
              credentials: 'SuperSecurePassword'

## Grafana Dashboard

You can use the following Grafana dashboard to visualize the metrics:
