But be careful, in the configuration for all providers the key is still `web`. ### Provider configurations ```shell curl -s "http://localhost:8080/api" | jq . ``` ```json { "file": { "frontends": { "frontend2": { "routes": { "test_2": { "rule": "Path:/test" } }, "backend": "backend1" }, "frontend1": { "routes": { "test_1": { "rule": "Host:test.localhost" } }, "backend": "backend2" } }, "backends": { "backend2": { "loadBalancer": { "method": "drr" }, "servers": { "server2": { "weight": 2, "URL": "http://172.17.0.5:80" }, "server1": { "weight": 1, "url": "http://172.17.0.4:80" } } }, "backend1": { "loadBalancer": { "method": "wrr" }, "circuitBreaker": { "expression": "NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.5" }, "servers": { "server2": { "weight": 1, "url": "http://172.17.0.3:80" }, "server1": { "weight": 10, "url": "http://172.17.0.2:80" } } } } } } ``` ### Health ```shell curl -s "http://localhost:8080/health" | jq . ``` ```json { // Træfik PID "pid": 2458, // Træfik server uptime (formated time) "uptime": "39m6.885931127s", // Træfik server uptime in seconds "uptime_sec": 2346.885931127, // current server date "time": "2015-10-07 18:32:24.362238909 +0200 CEST", // current server date in seconds "unixtime": 1444235544, // count HTTP response status code in realtime "status_code_count": { "502": 1 }, // count HTTP response status code since Træfik started "total_status_code_count": { "200": 7, "404": 21, "502": 13 }, // count HTTP response "count": 1, // count HTTP response "total_count": 41, // sum of all response time (formated time) "total_response_time": "35.456865605s", // sum of all response time in seconds "total_response_time_sec": 35.456865605, // average response time (formated time) "average_response_time": "864.8016ms", // average response time in seconds "average_response_time_sec": 0.8648016000000001, // request statistics [requires --statistics to be set] // ten most recent requests with 4xx and 5xx status codes "recent_errors": [ { // status code "status_code": 500, // description of status code "status": "Internal Server Error", // request HTTP method "method": "GET", // request hostname "host": "localhost", // request path "path": "/path", // RFC 3339 formatted date/time "time": "2016-10-21T16:59:15.418495872-07:00" } ] } ``` ## Metrics You can enable Traefik to export internal metrics to different monitoring systems. ```toml [api] # ... # Enable more detailed statistics. [api.statistics] # Number of recent errors logged. # # Default: 10 # recentErrors = 10 # ... ``` | Path | Method | Description | |------------|---------------|-------------------------| | `/metrics` | `GET` | Export internal metrics |
