This command provides an overview of {{crowdsec.name}} statistics provided by [prometheus client](/observability/prometheus/). By default it assumes that the {{crowdsec.name}} is installed on the same machine.
- Acquisition metrics : How many lines were read from which sources, how many were successfully or unsuccessfully parsed, and how many of those lines ultimately ended up being poured to a bucket.
- Parser metrics : How many lines were fed (eligible) to each parser, and how many of those were successfully or unsuccessfully parsed.
- Bucket metrics : How many time each scenario lead to a bucket instantiation, and for each of those :
- how many times it overflowed
- how many times it expired (underflows)
- how many subsequent events were poured to said bucket
!!! hint
These metrics should help you identify potential configuration errors.
For example, if you have a source that has mostly unparsed logs, you know you might be missing some parsers.
As well, if you have scenarios that are never instantiated, it might be a hint that they are not relevant to your configuration.
