# Telemetry
2015-02-04 05:10:25 +00:00
The Consul agent collects various runtime metrics about the performance of
different libraries and subsystems. These metrics are aggregated on a ten
second interval and are retained for one minute.
2014-02-08 00:41:03 +00:00
2015-02-04 05:10:25 +00:00
To view this data, you must send a signal to the Consul process: on Unix,
this is `USR1` while on Windows it is `BREAK` . Once Consul receives the signal,
it will dump the current telemetry information to the agent's `stderr` .
2014-02-08 00:41:03 +00:00
2015-02-04 05:10:25 +00:00
This telemetry information can be used for debugging or otherwise
getting a better view of what Consul is doing.

2015-10-08 19:45:45 +00:00
Additionally, if the [`telemetry` configuration options ](/docs/agent/options.html#telemetry )
are provided, the telemetry information will be streamed to a
[statsite ](http://github.com/armon/statsite ) or [statsd ](http://github.com/etsy/statsd ) server where
2017-08-08 20:05:38 +00:00
it can be aggregated and flushed to Graphite or any other metrics store. This
2018-04-06 12:50:03 +00:00
information can also be viewed with the [metrics endpoint ](/api/agent.html#view-metrics ) in JSON
format or using [Prometheus ](https://prometheus.io/ ) format.

# Key Metrics
When telemetry is being streamed to an external metrics store, the interval is defined to
be that store's flush interval. Otherwise, the interval can be assumed to be 10 seconds
when retrieving metrics from the built-in store using the above described signals.
## Agent Health
These metrics are used to monitor the health of specific Consul agents.
