    26  To get the node metrics:
    27  
    28  ```sh
    29  curl -X POST 127.0.0.1:9650/ext/metrics
    30  ```

    36  for information on Prometheus’ formatting.

    38  [Here](/nodes/maintain/setting-up-node-monitoring) is a tutorial that
    39  shows how to set up Prometheus and Grafana to monitor AvalancheGo node using the
