Graphite demonstrates the instrumentation feature of Tyk whereby realtime statistics are pushed from the Dashboard, Gateway and Pump into a StatsD instance. For this example, the statistics can be seen in the Graphite Dashboard
Run the up.sh script with the instrumentation parameter:
./up.sh instrumentation
The StatsD, Carbon and Graphite applications are all deployed within a single container service called graphite.
The Docker environment variable INSTRUMENTATION_ENABLED is required to be set to 1 in the .env file. The bootstrap process will set this automatically when running the up.sh script.
Open the Graphite Dashboard. Explore the 'Metrics' tree, and click on items you are interested in seeing, this will add them to the graph. Most of the Tyk items are in stats and stats_counts. Try sending some requests through the Gateway to generate data.
You may need to send some test API requests to generate instrumentation data. Also, try clicking the refresh icon to reload the available metrics.
