ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Monitoring Scylla Monitoring Stack Reference Guide Scylla Monitoring Stack Interfaces
For AI agents: a documentation index is available at https://monitoring.docs.scylladb.com/branch-4.15/llms.txt. A Markdown version of this page is at https://monitoring.docs.scylladb.com/branch-4.15/reference/monitoring-apis.md.

Scylla Monitoring Stack Interfaces¶

Scylla exposes two interfaces for online monitoring, as described below

Prometheus API¶

By default, Scylla listens on port 9180 for Prometheus requests. To connect a Prometheus server to Scylla in your prometheus.yaml configuration file, add Scylla as a target with your-ip:9180

For more information on monitoring Scylla with Prometheus see Scylla Monitoring Stack.

You can change the Prometheus listening address and port in scylla.yaml file

# prometheus port
# By default, Scylla opens prometheus API port on port 9180
# setting the port to 0 will disable the prometheus API.
prometheus_port: 9180
#
# prometheus address
# By default, Scylla binds all interfaces to the prometheus API
# It is possible to restrict the listening address to a specific one
prometheus_address: 0.0.0.0
