title: Prometheus
---

To monitor the WireGuard server, you can use [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and [Grafana](https://grafana.com/). 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:

```yaml
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:
