Getting or exporting load balancer metrics

Posted on March 29, 2019

Hi Friends,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get access to load balancer metrics? I don’t see anything in the api.

It looks to me like the answer is a no but I want to confirm. The load balancing graphs are useful but I would love to be able to export that data to datadog where we graph and monitor a gazillion other things.

Thanks

Currently there is no way to export the data behind the graphs via an API so the only place you can view them is inside the control panel as you mentioned.

Hey @bbef50e96c6f5ba25ace,

Quick follow-up here. Droplet metrics are now available via the API:

For the Load Balancer metrics, the best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
