Metrics

The Metrics endpoint exposes Prometheus-compatible metrics for each WireSocket Data Plane node. Use this endpoint to integrate WireSocket node telemetry into your existing monitoring stack (e.g., Grafana, Datadog, Prometheus).

Endpoint

GET https://{region-code}.wiresocket.net/metrics

Authentication

None required. This endpoint is publicly accessible to support scraping by external monitoring systems.

While unauthenticated, this endpoint is rate limited to prevent abuse. Metrics are node-level — they reflect the state of the specific node you query, not your application’s global state. For application-level usage, use the Usage endpoint instead.

Response

Returns metrics in the standard Prometheus text exposition format:

# HELP wiresocket_connections_total Total active WebSocket connections
# TYPE wiresocket_connections_total gauge
wiresocket_connections_total 247

# HELP wiresocket_documents_active Number of active document sessions
# TYPE wiresocket_documents_active gauge
wiresocket_documents_active 42

# HELP nodejs_heap_size_used_bytes Process heap size used in bytes
# TYPE nodejs_heap_size_used_bytes gauge
nodejs_heap_size_used_bytes 85345280

The exact metrics available depend on the prom-client configuration and may include both WireSocket-specific and Node.js runtime metrics.

Rate Limiting

This endpoint uses the HEALTH rate limit policy. A typical Prometheus scrape interval of 15–30 seconds is well within limits.
