No of ongoing session

[k00lkd]

How we can know how many session are currently live. Is there any way we can see data of no. of stun and turn sessions established everyday.

If you use turnserver with prometheus then turn_total_allocations will give you current number of allocations
With that you can build a graph

I have much less experince with redis as a monitoring solution so not sure about that
Another approach you can take (somewhat hacky and may be unreliable) - extract this info from logs (count some specific lines)

Hi @eakraly Please check this #785
Seems like we need to have some plugin installed. Can you please guide

[eakraly]

1. Make sure you run with --prometheus
2. If you get an error about unknown argument --prometheus then your turnserver is compiled without prometheus support
3. Pls share logs so we can assist you

@eakraly we installed prometheus in an server and now I'm trying to configure it to connect to turn server and get the metrics. Seems like I'm missing something. I want to know which package need to install to support Prometheus with turnserver.

hi @eakraly Have you seen the attached response

[eakraly]

@k00lkd you are attaching log from prometheus itself

You should configure prometheus to scrape turnserver on 9641
In order to test if turnserver exposes its metrics you can curl http://turnserver_ip:9641/metrics
This should return you all the metrics in prometheus format

Setting up the whole prometheus server is beyond what I can help you with

We encountered the same problem, installed Prometheus and configured in order to collect turnserver metrics via the 9641 port. but not collecting the metrics,
how to expose 9641 port, which exporter need to install to expose 9641 port.
Please direct us.

[eakraly]

You do not need to install any exporter
You need to properly configure prometheus itself - add new target (turnserver)
Prometheus does not auto-magically discover new scraping targets (remote or local)

If you can curl http://turnserver_ip:9641/metrics (or whatever port you expose it on) then turnserver part is fine

I am not seeing any metrics like turn_total_allocations . Is there any list of metrics which we should see with prometheus?
