# Platform Monitoring
FlowFuse provides an API end-point that can be used to monitor statistical information about the platform.
The end-point is accessible to any logged-in Admin user at the url (replace example.com
with the domain of your FlowFuse instance)
https://example.com/api/v1/admin/stats
By default it returns a JSON object containing key statistics such as the number of users, instances and other information.
If the accept header of the http request includes application/openmetrics-text
then the response is formatted as OpenMetrics text. This can be directly consumed by tools such as Prometheus.
# Enabling token-based access
In Admin Settings there is an option to allow token-based access to platform statistics.
When enabled, the platform will generate an access token that can be used to access the end-point without having a full Admin login. This is useful when configuring tools such as Prometheus to monitor the platform.
- Under Admin Settings -> General, check the 'allow token-based access' option
- A dialog is shown containing the token. This is the only time the token will be shown - make sure you record its value.
The token should be provided as a bearer token in any http request to the end-point;
TOKEN=your_generated_token
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN' https://example.com/api/v1/admin/stats
