Hi here, this is the very first time I am asking a question here!

I have node-red running on top of a Kubernetes cluster, I want to perform stress/load testing for my node-red, I want to monitor the metrics like CPU usage, memory used and Requests Per Second, using prometheus (which is also running on the same cluster in a separate pod). I can see some metrics in the logs when setting metrics:true in settings.js but I am not able to understand **how to expose an endpoint for prometheus**?

Hi @gauravdasgupta, there is no built-in prometheus integration in Node-RED.

You could look at using [https://www.npmjs.com/package/appmetrics-prometheus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/appmetrics-prometheus)
