VerneMQ can be monitored in several ways. We implemented native support for Graphite, MQTT $SYS tree, and Prometheus.
The metrics are also available via the command line tool:

Exported Metrics
VerneMQ metrics are either counters or gauges. Counters always report the total number of events since the broker start. Gauges report a point in time value.
