This tool generates the Prometheus metrics documentation at docs/admin/integrations/prometheus.md.
The documentation is generated from two metrics files:
metrics(static, manually maintained)generated_metrics(auto-generated, do not edit)
These files are merged and used to produce the final documentation.
Contains metrics that are not directly defined in the coder source code:
go_*: Go runtime metricsprocess_*: Process metrics from prometheus/client_golangpromhttp_*: Prometheus HTTP handler metricscoder_aibridged_*: Metrics from external dependencies
Note
This file also contains edge cases where metric metadata cannot be accurately extracted by the scanner (e.g., labels determined by runtime logic). Static metrics take priority over generated metrics when both files contain the same metric name.
Edit this file to add metrics that should appear in the documentation but are not scanned from the coder codebase,
or to manually override metrics where the scanner generates incorrect metadata (e.g., missing runtime-determined labels like in agent_scripts_executed_total).
Contains metrics extracted from the coder source code by the AST scanner (scanner/scanner.go).
Do not edit this file directly. It is regenerated by running:
make scripts/metricsdocgen/generated_metricsTo regenerate the documentation after code changes:
make docs/admin/integrations/prometheus.mdThis will:
- Run the scanner to update
generated_metrics - Merge
metricsandgenerated_metricsmetric files - Update the documentation file
