• Fastify v4 support.
• Complete config rewrite, default behaviour changed.
• Support disabling metrics in route config.
• Now collects metrics only for registered routes by default.
• Unknown routes metrics collection disabled by default.
• Removed metrics from request. Now it uses WeakMap and not exposed.
• Add balcklisting possibility for request methods.
• Registry overrides moved to metric configuration.
• Support overriding all Summary and Histogram options for default route metrics.

• Fastify v3 support.

• Collects default server metrics (see prom-client);
• Collects route response timings
• Adds metrics to fastify instance for your custom metrics.

• Requires fastify >=4.0.0.
• Node.js >=18.0.0.

Add it to your project like regular fastify plugin. Use register method and pass options to it.

const fastify = require('fastify');
const app = fastify();

const metricsPlugin = require('fastify-metrics');
await app.register(metricsPlugin, { endpoint: '/metrics' });

It also exports client to fastify instance fastify.metrics.client which you may use it in your routes.

You may create your metrics when app starts and store it in fastify.metrics object and reuse them in multiple routes.

After calling registry.clear() all metrics are removed from registry. In order to add them again to the registry, call fastify.mterics.initMetricsInRegistry.

See for details docs

The enabled configuration option can be either a boolean which enables/disables generation of both histograms and summaries, or it can be set to an object that allows you to pick individually whether you want histograms or summaries to be generated, for example:

{
  ...
  routeMetrics: {
    enabled: {
      histogram: true,
      summary: false
    }
  }
}

would result in the library only generating histograms.

You may override default metrics settings. You may provide overrides for two metrics tracking http request durations: histogram and summary.

const fastify = require('fastify');
const app = fastify();
const metricsPlugin = require('fastify-metrics');

await app.register(metricsPlugin, {
  endpoint: '/metrics',
  routeMetrics: {
    overrides: {
      histogram: {
        name: 'my_custom_http_request_duration_seconds',
        buckets: [0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 5],
      },
      summary: {
        help: 'custom request duration in seconds summary help',
        labelNames: ['status_code', 'method', 'route'],
        percentiles: [0.5, 0.75, 0.9, 0.95, 0.99],
      },
    },
  },
});
