Polyaxon provides an abstraction called ‘metrics’ which is used for internal monitoring, generally timings and various counters. The default backend noop simply discards them.

This guide will help you set up a statsd backend to sends these metrics.

Using the default Helm metrics deployment

Polyaxon provides a built-in statsd exporter in the Helm chart that can be enabled, the backend will be configured automatically.

metrics:
  enabled: true

Using a custom backend

externalServices:
  metrics:
    enabled: true
    backend: statsd
    options: {host: host, port: 8125}
