# Monitor Boundary
|
|
|
|
Visibility into various components of Boundary plays an important role in
|
|
ensuring the health of its controllers and workers.
|
|
|
|
You can export metrics for controllers
|
|
and workers and then configure them to be collected by Prometheus. Metrics
|
|
provide insight into the current state of a Boundary deployment by enabling the
|
|
diagnosis of deployed controllers and workers. Enabling metrics assists in the
|
|
detection and mitigation of anomalies in a deployment.
|
|
These docs describe the available metrics and the naming and labeling standards
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the health of controllers can be monitored using the
|
|
`/health` endpoint. The health endpoint is enabled by defining a listener in
|
|
Boundary's configuration file, and a health response may be configured to add a
|
|
shutdown grace period process.
|
|
|
|
You can also configure Boundary to monitor events.
|
|
You can choose to monitor audit, observation, system, and telemetry events.
|
|
Boundary supports both file and stderr sinks for events and you can send events to multiple sinks.
|
|
|
|
Listeners let you configure the addresses and ports on which Boundary responds to requests.
|
|
You can configure TCP and Unix listeners.
|
|
Boundary also supports custom response headers for any requests made on controllers.
|
|
You can define headers based on the status code that is returned.
