TYPO3 Prometheus Metrics Extension

This extension provides a Prometheus metrics endpoint for TYPO3 instances. It exposes various TYPO3-specific metrics that can be scraped by Prometheus to monitor the health and performance of your TYPO3 site.

Installation

1. Install the extension via composer:

   composer require mfd/typo3-prometheus
   

2. Activate the extension in the Extension Manager or via command line:

   vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate prometheus
   

Usage

After installation, a metrics endpoint will be available at /metrics. This endpoint will return Prometheus-compatible metrics in the OpenMetrics text format.

Available Metrics

The following metrics are currently exposed:

• typo3_version_info: Information about the TYPO3 version and application context
• typo3_memory_usage_bytes: Current memory usage in bytes
• typo3_memory_peak_usage_bytes: Peak memory usage in bytes
• typo3_pages_total: Total number of pages in the system
• typo3_content_elements_total: Total number of content elements

Configuration

No additional configuration is needed. The extension works out of the box.

Security Considerations

It's recommended to restrict access to the /metrics endpoint in production environments, as it may expose sensitive information. You can use your web server's configuration to restrict access based on IP addresses or authentication.
