REST API

Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit. Prometheus collects and stores its metrics as time series data. That data is collected from services (like SeedDMS) by polling a web page which delivers the information to monitor. In case of SeedDMS this information consists of the number of users, document, folder, etc.

The SeedDMS prometheus extension implements such a web page as an additional http end point which is not part of the regular REST API. It can be accessed at https://your-domain/metrics.

In my last post about Paperless NGX a new application called Paperless AI was introduced as a very promissing approach to utilize a local LLM to enhance the meta data of documents in SeedDMS and to be able to chat about the documents.

Unfortunetly, the development of Paperless AI has stopped, but a new project called Zettelrobbe continues the work. Zettelrobbe has removed some features like the RAG based AI chat and rather focuses on finding appropriate meta data. The software can easily handle large document archives without using lots of resources. The dashboard remains snappy even during document processing
