# Consul Dataplane Telemetry
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Consul Dataplane collects metrics about its own status and performance.
|
||
|
|
The following external metrics stores are supported:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [DogstatsD](https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/)
|
||
|
|
- [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/)
|
||
|
|
- [StatsD](https://github.com/statsd/statsd)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Consul Dataplane uses the same external metrics store that is configured for Envoy. To enable
|
||
|
|
telemetry for Consul Dataplane, enable telemetry for Envoy by specifying an external metrics store
|
||
|
|
in the proxy-defaults configuration entry or directly in the proxy.config field of the proxy service
|
||
|
|
definition. Refer to the [Envoy bootstrap
|
||
|
|
configuration](/docs/connect/proxies/envoy#bootstrap-configuration) for details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prometheus Metrics Merging
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When Prometheus metrics are used, Consul Dataplane configures Envoy to serve merged metrics through
|
||
|
|
a single endpoint. Metrics from the following sources are collected and merged:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Consul Dataplane
|
||
|
|
- The Envoy process managed by Consul Dataplane
|
||
|
|
- (optionally) Your service instance running alongside Consul Dataplane
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Metrics Reference

|
|
| `consul_dataplane.connect_duration` | Measures the time `consul-dataplane` spends connecting to a Consul server, including the time to discover Consul server addresses and to complete other setup prior to Envoy opening the xDS stream. | ms | timer |
|
||
|
|
| `consul_dataplane.connected` | Indicates whether `consul-dataplane` is currently connected to a Consul server. | 1 or 0 | gauge |
|
||
|
|
| `consul_dataplane.connection_errors` | Measures the number of errors encountered on gRPC streams. This is labeled with the gRPC error status code. | number of errors | gauge |
|
||
|
|
| `consul_dataplane.discover_servers_duration` | Measures the time `consul-dataplane` spends discovering Consul server IP addresses. | ms | timer |
|
||
|
|
| `consul_dataplane.envoy_connected` | Indicates whether Envoy is currently connected to `consul-dataplane` and able to receive xDS updates. | 1 or 0 | gauge |
|
||
|
|
| `consul_dataplane.login_duration` | Measures the time `consul-dataplane` spends logging in to an ACL auth method. | ms | timer |
