I am a keycloak newbie an i am searching for a good possibility to monitor the technical and behavioral status of keycloak by HTTP (usage statistics by realm, database connections, …).
I suppose that there are several JMX statistics, but http would be so much better 
We are using the server docker image of https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-containers (jboss/keycloak:X.X:X)
As i can remember jboss/wildfly exposes its jmx metrics by http but probably something comparable to https://github.com/thomasdarimont/keycloak-health-checks provides a better solution.
How do you monitor your keycloak instance?

Hi
We are using multiple monitoring systems
- Prometheus monitoring in Grafana Dashboard. You can read about it on github - https://github.com/aerogear/keycloak-metrics-spi
- Default Wildfly management console. There are many configurations and statistics (HTTP connections, listeners, database connection info like pool size and other) - http://localhost:9990
Since a few versions, Keycloak offers the underlying, built-in metrics from Wildfly.
Look for “Enable some metrics” at https://hub.docker.com/r/jboss/keycloak/
These are then available at /metrics on the management endpoint (usually port 9990)
There’s also a /health endpoint on the management port available.
