I want to monitor .hprof files in the system using Grafana, so I wrote a small Flask app. I am able to access localhost, I am able to see the number of hprof files on terminal, but I cannot see the number of hprof files on my localhost. Here is my code:
import fnmatch,os
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hprof():
num_files = len(fnmatch.filter(os.listdir("/home/ubuntu/files"),'*.hprof'))
return("Total hprof files: ", num_files)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000, debug=True)
ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine:~/hprof$ python3 hprof.py

means that Flask treats it as a

tuple, sonum_files
is used for the HTTP status code.In order to return your intended response, you need to return a single string:
