Connector Metrics Overview

Introducing Twingate Connector Metrics

Gain essential visibility into your Twingate network performance with Connector metrics. Monitor traffic patterns and connection efficiency with real-time data exported in the industry-standard Prometheus format.

What Are Twingate Connector Metrics?

Twingate Connectors can now export operational metrics that provide insights into your network’s performance. These metrics use the Prometheus format, making them compatible with your existing monitoring tools and practices.

Available Metrics

Traffic Monitoring

• Inbound/Outbound bytes: Track total data transferred through your Connectors
• Transport breakdown: See traffic split between direct connections and relay usage

Connector Health

• Uptime tracking: Monitor Connector availability and reliability
• Resource counts: Keep tabs on overall resource counts handled by each Connector

More metrics coming soon! We’re actively expanding our metrics collection so stay tuned for updates.

Why Use Connector Metrics?

Gain network visibility: Understand traffic usage and connection efficiency across your Twingate deployment.

Optimize performance: Make data-driven decisions about your network configuration.

Monitor reliability: Track Connector uptime and Resource counts for better operational awareness.

Prometheus-Compatible Format

Metrics are exported in standard Prometheus format for easy integration with your existing monitoring tools:

# Traffic metrics with transport breakdown
twingate_inbound_bytes_total{transport="direct"} 1234567890
twingate_outbound_bytes_total{transport="relay"} 987654321

# Connector health indicators  
twingate_connector_uptime_seconds 86400

Use with Prometheus, Grafana, and other monitoring tools you already know.

Common Use Cases

• Network dashboards: Visualize traffic and Connector health in real-time
• Performance optimization: Identify opportunities to improve direct connection ratios
• Capacity planning: Track usage trends to plan infrastructure scaling
• Operational monitoring: Set up alerts for Connector downtime or connection issues

Getting Started
