Enable Nacos Metrics in Prometheus and Visualize with Grafana

In today’s fast‑moving business environment, the NSCOS enterprise‑level monitoring panel offers a powerful, centralized view of key performance indicators, helping IT operations, marketing, and finance teams quickly spot trends and anomalies.

Nacos Enable Metrics

To expose Nacos metrics for Prometheus, edit /etc/kubernetes/addons/nacos/application.properties to include management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*, then create a ConfigMap:

$ cat /etc/kubernetes/addons/nacos/application.properties
#***********Expose prometheus and health **************************#
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*

$ kubectl -n nacos create configmap nacos-config --from-file=application.properties=/etc/kubernetes/addons/nacos/application.properties --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
configmap/nacos-config configured

Prometheus Scrape Nacos Metrics

Add a job named nacos to the Prometheus configuration:

$ kubectl -n kube-system edit cm prometheus
- job_name: nacos
  metrics_path: /nacos/actuator/prometheus
  scheme: http
  kubernetes_sd_configs:
  - role: endpoints
  relabel_configs:
  - action: keep
    source_labels: [__meta_kubernetes_namespace, __meta_kubernetes_endpoints_name, __meta_kubernetes_endpoint_port_name]
    regex: nacos;nacos;server

Verify collection with a curl query:

$ curl -s $(kubectl -n kube-system get svc prometheus -ojsonpath='{.spec.clusterIP}:{.spec.ports[0].port}')/prometheus/api/v1/query --data-urlencode 'query=up{job=~"nacos"}' | jq '.data.result[] | {job: .metric.job, instance: .metric.instance ,status: .value[1]}'

Grafana Dashboard for Nacos

Import the official Nacos Grafana dashboard JSON from the repository https://github.com/nacos-group/nacos-template/blob/master/nacos-grafana-upper-2.4.json to visualize the metrics.

Conclusion

The NSCOS enterprise monitoring panel provides a centralized, visual interface for key business indicators, enhancing internal communication, cross‑department collaboration, and strategic decision‑making during digital transformation.
