-Prometheus is an "open-source monitoring system with a dimensional data model, flexible query language, efficient time series database and modern alerting approach".
-Minetest has built-in support for prometheus, allowing you to see metrics about your server - such as player count and performance information.
-== Using Prometheus in Minetest ==
-=== Get or build the prometheus-cpp library ===
-You may be able to find prometheus-cpp in your distro's package manager.
-Otherwise, you'll need to build it and make it available to Minetest.
-Here's how you do that on Linux:
-<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">cd /tmp
-git clone --recursive https://github.com/jupp0r/prometheus-cpp
-mkdir prometheus-cpp/build
-cd prometheus-cpp/build
-cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_TESTING=0
-make -j$(nproc)
-sudo make install</syntaxhighlight>
-=== Build Minetest ===
-Now, you need build minetest with Prometheus enabled
-<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">cmake . -DENABLE_PROMETHEUS=1
-make -j$(nproc)</syntaxhighlight>
-=== Configure prometheus ===
-Prometheus will make HTTP requests to Minetest's prometheus-cpp library to get the metrics.
-You can set the prometheus listen address like so:
-<code><pre>prometheus_listener_address = 127.0.0.1:30000</pre></code>
-== Grafana ==
-You can link up Prometheus to Grafana to make nice web graphs. For example:
-[https://monitor.rubenwardy.com/d/r6cCl68mk/minetest-servers monitor.rubenwardy.com]
-To do: example layouts
