Hi, I’m facing some problems with metrics integration in prometheus
nextcloud intallation:
helm install nextcloud nextcloud/nextcloud --namespace nextcloud --values .\nextcloud-values.yaml --version 9.0.6
For the metrics usage I modified the yaml file as shown below:
metrics:
enabled: true
replicaCount: 1
# Optional: becomes NEXTCLOUD_SERVER env var in the nextcloud-exporter container.
# Without it, we will use the full name of the nextcloud service
server: ""
# The metrics exporter needs to know how you serve Nextcloud either http or https
https: false
# Use API token if set, otherwise fall back to password authentication
# https://github.com/xperimental/nextcloud-exporter#token-authentication
# Currently you still need to set the token manually in your nextcloud install
token: ""
timeout: 5s
# if set to true, exporter skips certificate verification of Nextcloud server.
tlsSkipVerify: false
info:
# Optional: becomes NEXTCLOUD_INFO_APPS env var in the nextcloud-exporter container.
# Enables gathering of apps-related metrics. Defaults to false
apps: false
# image:
# repository: xperimental/nextcloud-exporter
# tag: 0.8.0
# pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

## Prometheus Operator ServiceMonitor configuration
##
prometheus:
serviceMonitor:
## @param metrics.serviceMonitor.enabled Create ServiceMonitor Resource for scraping metrics using PrometheusOperator
##
enabled: true
## @param metrics.serviceMonitor.namespace Namespace in which Prometheus is running
##
namespace: "monitoring"
## @param metrics.serviceMonitor.namespaceSelector The selector of the namespace where the target service is located (defaults to the release namespace)
namespaceSelector:
matchNames:
- nextcloud
## @param metrics.serviceMonitor.jobLabel The name of the label on the target service to use as the job name in prometheus.
##
jobLabel: "nextcloud"
## @param metrics.serviceMonitor.interval Interval at which metrics should be scraped
## ref: https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/api.md#endpoint
##
interval: 30s
## @param metrics.serviceMonitor.scrapeTimeout Specify the timeout after which the scrape is ended
## ref: https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/api.md#endpoint
##
scrapeTimeout: 10s
## @param metrics.serviceMonitor.labels Extra labels for the ServiceMonitor
##
labels:
release: prometheus-stack
rules:
# @section -- Metrics
enabled: true
# -- Label on Prometheus Rules CRD Manifest
# @section -- Metrics
labels:
prometheus: default
defaults:
# -- Add Default Rules
# @section -- Metrics

# -- Label on the rules (the severity is already set)

labels:

# -- Filter on metrics on alerts (default just for this helm-chart)
# @section -- Metrics
filter: ""
# -- Add own Rules to Prometheus Rules
# @section -- Metrics
additionalRules: []
As result I got a service monitor in the namespace monitoring with the following content:
apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: ServiceMonitor
metadata:
annotations:
meta.helm.sh/release-name: nextcloud
meta.helm.sh/release-namespace: nextcloud
creationTimestamp: "2026-09-23T14:34:07Z"
generation: 4
labels:

app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
app.kubernetes.io/name: nextcloud
app.kubernetes.io/version: 33.0.3
helm.sh/chart: nextcloud-9.0.6
release: prometheus-stack
name: nextcloud
namespace: monitoring
resourceVersion: "295889"
uid: 0361287d-98f9-4926-ba5b-c2e6f81b0f21
spec:
endpoints:
- interval: 30s
path: /metrics
port: http
scrapeTimeout: 10s
jobLabel: nextcloud
namespaceSelector:
matchNames:
- nextcloud
selector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/instance: nextcloud
app.kubernetes.io/monitor: enabled
app.kubernetes.io/name: nextcloud
But I can’t see this monitor in the prometheus targets.
What do I miss ?
Many thanks in advace
