|
|||
* `-retentionPeriod` - retention period in months for the data. Older data is automatically deleted. Default period is 1 month.
|
||||
* `-httpListenAddr` - TCP address to listen to for http requests. By default, it listens port `8428` on all the network interfaces.
|

|

Other flags have good enough default values, so set them only if you really need this.

Pass `-help` to see all the available flags with description and default values.

It is recommended setting up [monitoring](#monitoring) for VictoriaMetrics.

### Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
VictoriaMetrics exports internal metrics in Prometheus format at `/metrics` page.
|
||||
These metrics may be collected via Prometheus by adding the corresponding scrape config to it.
|
||||
These metrics may be collected by [vmagent](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmagent/README.md)
|
||||
or Prometheus by adding the corresponding scrape config to it.
|
||||
Alternatively they can be self-scraped by setting `-selfScrapeInterval` command-line flag to duration greater than 0.
|
||||
For example, `-selfScrapeInterval=10s` would enable self-scraping of `/metrics` page with 10 seconds interval.

|
|||
|
||||
* `vm_cache_entries{type="storage/hour_metric_ids"}` - the number of time series with new data points during the last hour
|
||||
aka active time series.
|
||||
* `rate(vm_new_timeseries_created_total[5m])` - time series churn rate.
|
||||
* `vm_rows{type="indexdb"}` - the number of rows in inverted index. High value for this number usually mean high churn rate for time series.
|
||||
* Sum of `vm_rows{type="storage/big"}` and `vm_rows{type="storage/small"}` - total number of `(timestamp, value)` data points
|
||||
in the database.
|
||||
* `vm_rows_inserted_total` - the total number of inserted rows since VictoriaMetrics start.
|
||||
* `increase(vm_new_timeseries_created_total[1h])` - time series churn rate during the previous hour.
|
||||
* `sum(vm_rows{type=~"storage/.*"})` - total number of `(timestamp, value)` data points in the database.
|
||||
* `sum(rate(vm_rows_inserted_total[5m]))` - ingestion rate, i.e. how many samples are inserted int the database per second.
|
||||
* `vm_free_disk_space_bytes` - free space left at `-storageDataPath`.
|
||||
* `sum(vm_data_size_bytes)` - the total data size on disk.
|
||||
* `sum(vm_data_size_bytes)` - the total size of data on disk.
