a6-plugin-prometheus

Overview

The prometheus plugin exposes APISIX metrics in Prometheus text format. It tracks HTTP status codes, request latency, bandwidth, upstream health, etcd status, stream sessions, LLM token usage, and AI cache hits. Prometheus scrapes the metrics endpoint; Grafana visualizes them. Field tables: https://docs.api7.ai/hub/prometheus

When to Use

• Monitor request rates, error rates, and latency per route/service/consumer
• Track upstream health check status
• Observe LLM token consumption and time-to-first-token
• Build dashboards and alerts with Prometheus + Grafana
