# 2026-09-30 New feature: Soffid metrics update

### The new feature

<p class="callout info">The **Soffid metrics service** has been modified so that it analyses active threads every 10 seconds, rather than waiting for them to finish.</p>

### Bear in mind

Please note the following points:

- This service is **disabled by default**.
- This service generates **a lot of log data**; you should only **enable it when necessary**.

### How to configure it?

The following **components** must be installed:

- Admin addon 4.0.6.1 (or higher)

### Let's look at an example

First, you need to **enable** the service.

You must add two **system variables** in the Console and/or Syncserver.

These are the system variables:

```
soffid.metrics.service.enable=true
soffid.metrics.service.min=60000 (number in miliseconds)
```

This is an example for the Console with docker compose

The instances need to be **redeployed**.

We can now see the **statistics** for active processes in the **log**.
