Assuming Forge’s web-service-port is set, when you start Forge, it serves up the Metrics Web service. You can then use any Web services interface to talk to it and request metrics.

You can request global information about the parent node, or request on a component-by-component basis. (Each pipeline component has corresponding metrics.) If you request "/" , the Metrics Web service returns the root and all of its children. To refine your request, you give the Web service the path to the node you are interested in.
