Endpoint
:9090/metrics (only when a metrics exporter host/port is set)
Enabled by default
no
notes
Total model requests, all model types (unlike generate_tokens_total which is LLM-only). Rate of this minus the error rate is the success rate a reader will want. Xinference main (xorbitsai/inference), read 2026-10-05. NOT ON BY DEFAULT on the worker: the /metrics endpoint is only mounted when XINFERENCE_DISABLE_METRICS is unset AND a metrics exporter host or port is supplied; otherwise launch_metrics_export_server() is never called and the endpoint does not exist. Supervisor-side metrics are deregistered from the worker's registry on purpose (launch_metrics_export_server removes _SUPERVISOR_ONLY_METRICS), so the worker endpoint carries only worker metrics and the supervisor endpoint only supervisor metrics. aioprometheus, not prometheus_client: counters do not auto-suffix _total the way prometheus_client does, so two of these names end in _counter and three do not - match on the literal name.
