Internal Backstage API

GET http://unleash.host.com/internal-backstage/prometheus

Unleash uses Prometheus internally to collect metrics. By default, the metrics are available at /internal-backstage/prometheus. You can disable this endpoint by setting the serverMetrics option to false.

Note that it's not recommended to expose Prometheus metrics to the public as of the Prometheus pentest-report issue PRM-01-002. Thus, if you want to keep metrics enabled, you should block all external access to /internal-backstage/* on the network layer to keep your instance secure.

Annotations

Unleash will automatically count all updates for all toggles under the metric name feature_toggle_update_total, and the toggle name is will be set as a label value. This information can be used to create annotations in grafana for everytime a feature toggle is changed.

You can use this query in grafana to achieve this:

delta(feature_toggle_update_total{toggle="Demo"}[1m]) != bool 0

Another useful counter is the feature_toggle_usage_total which will give you the numbers for how many times a feature toggle has been evaluated to active or not.
