docs Telemetry docs-internals-telemetry Learn about the telemetry data available in Vault.

Telemetry

The Vault 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.

To view this data, you must send a signal to the Vault process: on Unix, this is USR1 while on Windows it is BREAK. Once Vault receives the signal, it will dump the current telemetry information to the agent's stderr.

This telemetry information can be used for debugging or otherwise getting a better view of what Vault is doing.

Telemetry information can be streamed to both statsite as well as statsd based on providing the appropriate configuration options.

Below is sample output of a telemetry dump:
