# Metrics

Metrics are configured to be exposed using prometheus operator API's by default. If you want to expose metrics using the prometheus operator API's you need to install the prometheus operator in your cluster. By default NFD Master and Worker expose metrics on port 8081.

The exposed metrics are

Metric | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`nfd_master_build_info` | Gauge | Version from which nfd-master was built
`nfd_worker_build_info` | Gauge | Version from which nfd-worker was built
`nfd_node_update_requests_total` | Counter | Number of node update requests processed by the master
`nfd_node_updates_total` | Counter | Number of nodes updated
`nfd_node_update_failures_total` | Counter | Number of nodes update failures
`nfd_node_labels_rejected_total` | Counter | Number of nodes labels rejected by nfd-master
`nfd_node_extendedresources_rejected_total` | Counter | Number of nodes extended resources rejected by nfd-master
`nfd_node_taints_rejected_total` | Counter | Number of nodes taints rejected by nfd-master
`nfd_nodefeaturerule_processing_duration_seconds` | Histogram | Time taken to process NodeFeatureRule objects
`nfd_nodefeaturerule_processing_errors_total` | Counter | Number or errors encountered while processing NodeFeatureRule objects
`nfd_feature_discovery_duration_seconds` | Histogram | Time taken to discover features on a node
`nfd_topology_updater_scan_errors_total` | Counter | Number of errors in scanning resource allocation of pods.

## Via Kustomize

To deploy NFD with metrics enabled using kustomize, you can use the Metrics Overlay.

## Via Helm

By default metrics are enabled when deploying NFD via Helm. To enable Prometheus to scrape metrics from NFD, you need to pass the following values to Helm:

    --set prometheus.enable=true

For more info on Helm deployment, see Helm.

We recommend setting `--set prometheus.prometheusSpec.podMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false` when deploying prometheus-operator via Helm to enable the prometheus-operator to scrape metrics from any PodMonitor.

or setting labels on the PodMonitor via the helm parameter `prometheus.labels` to control which Prometheus instances will scrape this PodMonitor.
