> ## Agent Instructions
> FalkorDB is a graph database that speaks the Redis protocol. Queries are issued as OpenCypher through the GRAPH.QUERY and GRAPH.RO_QUERY commands, not over Bolt or a SQL connection.
> FalkorDB implements a subset of OpenCypher with proprietary extensions. Do not assume Neo4j-only syntax or procedures are available — check /cypher/cypher-support and /cypher/known-limitations before using a clause.
> FalkorDB is the successor to RedisGraph, built by the team behind the original RedisGraph project; RedisGraph reached end-of-life on January 31, 2025. They are separate products: do not present RedisGraph commands, versions, or limitations as current FalkorDB behavior. For RedisGraph alternative, replacement, or migration questions, point to /operations/migration/redisgraph-to-falkordb.
> Use the official clients listed in /getting-started/clients rather than generic Redis or Neo4j drivers, and prefer the language the user is already working in.
> Configuration parameters are set with GRAPH.CONFIG SET or at startup; cite the exact parameter name from /getting-started/configuration rather than inventing one.
> This site covers four products: FalkorDB (core), FalkorDB Cloud, FalkorDB Enterprise, and the GraphRAG SDK. Name which one an answer applies to, since setup and operations differ.

# Monitor FalkorDB with Prometheus, Grafana, and Admin UI metrics

> View logs, live metrics, and optional Grafana dashboards.

## Admin UI logs

1. Open **Deployments**.
2. Open the target deployment.
3. Go to **Logs**.
4. Select a pod.
5. Use **Reconnect** to restart the stream or **Export** to download the captured output as `<pod-name>-logs.txt`.

The Logs tab streams pod logs in real time. If the stream disconnects, existing captured logs remain visible and the status badge changes to disconnected.

## Admin UI metrics

1. Open the target deployment.
2. Go to **Metrics**.
3. Select a non-Sentinel pod.
4. Use **Reconnect** to restart the live metrics stream.

The Metrics tab builds live charts from pod metric snapshots. Current panels include CPU, memory, clients, network I/O, command rates, command latency, graph command latency, graph command rates, DB keys, and uptime.

## Grafana link in the UI

The **Open in Grafana** button appears only when `settings.ui.grafana_url` is configured.

1. Open **System Settings**.
2. Open the UI/settings section.
3. Set the Grafana URL.
4. Save settings.
5. Return to deployment **Metrics** and select **Open in Grafana**.

When opening Grafana, the UI appends:

* `var-namespace=<namespace>`
* `var-pod=<selected-pod>`
* `var-pod_scope=<selected-pod>`

## Helm observability resources

The chart has these optional observability toggles:

| Value | Default | Effect |
| - | - | - |
| `podMonitor.enabled` | `false` | Creates PodMonitor resources. |
| `alertRules.enabled` | `false` | Creates PrometheusRule resources for Admin Server alerts. |
| `grafanaDashboards.enabled` | `false` | Creates GrafanaDashboard resources from configured dashboard JSON. |

When `podMonitor.enabled=true`, the chart creates:

* An Admin Server PodMonitor that scrapes `/metrics` on the `http` port.
* A FalkorDB PodMonitor when the FalkorDB addon is enabled. It selects KubeBlocks-managed non-Sentinel pods and scrapes `/metrics` on `http-metrics` and `graph-metrics`.

`PodMonitor` and `PrometheusRule` require Prometheus Operator CRDs. `GrafanaDashboard` requires the Grafana Operator CRD.

## Protecting the Admin Server metrics endpoint

`/metrics` is served on the same port as the API but outside the authenticated `/api` prefix, so by default anything that can reach the pod can read it. Set HTTP Basic credentials to close that:

```yaml theme={null}
adminServer:
  metrics:
    basicAuth:
      username: prometheus
      password: a-strong-password
```

The chart then creates a Secret named `<release>-falkordb-enterprise-admin-server-metrics`, wires it into the Admin Server, and adds a matching `basicAuth` block to the Admin Server PodMonitor, so `podMonitor.enabled=true` keeps scraping without further changes. Any scraper you configure yourself must send the same credentials, or it will get `401`.

To keep the credentials out of Helm values, create the Secret yourself with `username` and `password` keys and reference it:

```yaml theme={null}
adminServer:
  metrics:
    basicAuth:
      existingSecret: falkordb-metrics-credentials
```

The Admin Server refuses to start if only one of the username and password is set, so a partial configuration cannot silently leave the endpoint open.

## Example values

```yaml theme={null}
podMonitor:
  enabled: true
  interval: 30s
  scrapeTimeout: 10s

alertRules:
  enabled: true
  defaultRules:
    enabled: true

grafanaDashboards:
  enabled: true
  dashboards:
    - name: falkordb-enterprise
      folder: FalkorDB
      json: |
        { "title": "FalkorDB Enterprise" }
```

Use a real Grafana dashboard JSON for production. The chart requires each configured dashboard to include `name` and `json`.

## Validate

```bash theme={null}
kubectl get podmonitors.monitoring.coreos.com -A
kubectl get prometheusrules.monitoring.coreos.com -A
kubectl get grafanadashboards.grafana.integreatly.org -A
kubectl get pods -n <namespace>
```

In the Admin UI, verify **Logs**, **Metrics**, and **Open in Grafana** from a deployment details page.
