Hi Konstantin,

Riak exposes a number of metrics - such as counters and histograms - that
you can use to monitor your nodes' health.
Metrics are available through the HTTP API via the /stats endpoint.
For details, see:
http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/running/stats-and-monitoring/

Cheers,

Roberto Aloi
