Replace `<your_model_path>` with the actual path to your model (e.g., `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct`). Ensure the server is accessible from the monitoring stack (you might need `--host 0.0.0.0` if running in Docker). By default, the metrics endpoint will be available at `http://<sglang_server_host>:30000/metrics`.

## Estimated Performance Metrics (MFU-related)
SGLang exports the following estimated per-GPU counters that can be used to derive
Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU)-related signals:
- `sglang:estimated_flops_per_gpu_total`: Estimated floating-point operations.
- `sglang:estimated_read_bytes_per_gpu_total`: Estimated bytes read from memory.
- `sglang:estimated_write_bytes_per_gpu_total`: Estimated bytes written to memory.
These metrics are available when both `--enable-metrics` and
`--enable-mfu-metrics` are enabled.
These are cumulative counters. Use Prometheus `rate(...)` to get per-second values.
### PromQL examples
Average TFLOPS per GPU:
```promql
rate(sglang:estimated_flops_per_gpu_total[1m]) / 1e12
```
Average estimated memory bandwidth in GB/s:
```promql
(rate(sglang:estimated_read_bytes_per_gpu_total[1m]) +
rate(sglang:estimated_write_bytes_per_gpu_total[1m])) / 1e9
```
### Notes
- These metrics are estimates intended for observability and trend analysis.
- Estimated memory bytes reflect modeled traffic and are not a direct hardware
counter from GPU profilers.
