Active workspace metrics via prometheus

We are unfortunately not using k8s for our current coder deployment, and I already looked at the observability repo here: https://github.com/coder/observability/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file and found that many of the dashboards there are strongly tied to k8s metrics on top of the prometheus metrics from coder. I would like to display on a dashboard the current active workspaces, however, this does not seem possible with the current prometheus metrics, maybe I'm wrong.. Has anyone figured out a way to reliably display the current "running" workspace count, purely with the coder prometheus metrics?

Filtering this metric to labels where status is succeeded and workspace_transition is start should get you what you're looking for? looks consistent with what /deployment/stats returns This metric was undocumented, just pr'd to fix that, so thank you!

Fantastic, I'll give it a quick test drive Seems to work nicely, I also managed to get a nice view of workspaces over time period per user with the following

count by (username, workspace_name) (coderd_agents_connections{status="connected"})

count by (username, workspace_name) (coderd_agents_connections{status="connected"})
