# Telemetry
|
|
|
|
The Consul agent collects various metrics data at runtime about the performance
|
|
of different libraries and sub-systems. These metrics are aggregated on a ten second
|
|
interval and are retained for one minute.
|
|
|
|
To view the telemetry information, you must send a `USR1` signal to the Consul
|
|
process. Windows users must use the `BREAK` signal instead.
|
|
Once Consul receives the signal, it will dump the current telemetry
|
|
information to the stderr of the agent.
|
|
|
|
In general, the telemetry information is used for debugging or otherwise
|
|
getting a better view into what Consul is doing.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if the `-statsite` [option](/docs/agent/options.html) is provided,
|
|
then the telemetry information will be streamed to a [statsite](http://github.com/armon/statsite)
|
|
server where it can be aggregate and flushed to Graphite or any other metrics store.
