Guides Qdrant monitoring setup including Prometheus scraping, health probes, Hybrid Cloud metrics, alerting, and log centralization. Use when someone asks 'how to set up monitoring', 'Prometheus config', 'Grafana dashboard', 'health check endpoints', 'how to scrape Hybrid Cloud', 'what alerts to set', 'how to centralize logs', or 'audit logging'.
Get Prometheus scraping working first, then health probes, then alerting. Do not skip monitoring setup before going to production.
Use when: setting up metric collection for the first time or adding a new deployment.
/metrics endpoint Monitoring docs/sys_metrics (Qdrant Cloud only)service.metrics_prefix config or QDRANT__SERVICE__METRICS_PREFIX env varUse when: running Qdrant Hybrid Cloud and need cluster-level visibility.
Do not just scrape Qdrant nodes. In Hybrid Cloud, you manage the Kubernetes data plane. You must also scrape the cluster-exporter and operator pods for full cluster visibility and operator state.
Use when: configuring Kubernetes health checks.
/healthz, /livez, /readyz for basic status, liveness, and readiness Kubernetes health endpointsUse when: setting up alerts for production or Hybrid Cloud deployments.
Use when: enterprise compliance requires centralized logs or audit trails.
