Apollo Prometheus Exporter

Plugin for Apollo Server to export metrics in Prometheus format.

It uses prom-client under the hood the export the metrics.

Since Apollo Server released a new major version, a new version (v2.x.y) of the exporter has been launched. Apollo Server v2 is still supported in v1.x.y. The two versions will be features-matched as much as possible.

Usage

1. Install prom-client and @bmatei/apollo-prometheus-exporter

   npm install prom-client @bmatei/apollo-prometheus-exporter

2. Create an instance of the plugin

   const app = express();
   
   const prometheusExporterPlugin = createPrometheusExporterPlugin({ app });

3. Add the plugin to ApolloServer

   const server = new ApolloServer({
     plugins: [prometheusExporterPlugin]
   });
