Public Metrics

This section provides reference descriptions about the public metrics exported from Redpanda’s /public_metrics endpoint.

In a live system, Redpanda metrics are exported only for features that are in use. For example, Redpanda does not export metrics for consumer groups if no groups are registered.

To see the available public metrics in your system, query the /public_metrics endpoint:

curl http://<node-addr>:9644/public_metrics | grep "[HELP|TYPE]"

Use /public_metrics for your primary dashboards for system health.

Use /metrics for detailed analysis and debugging.

Cluster metrics

redpanda_cluster_brokers

Number of configured, fully commissioned brokers in a cluster.

Type: gauge

How to monitor: Create an alert for when this gauge dips below a steady-state threshold, as a node(s) has become unresponsive.


redpanda_cluster_controller_log_limit_requests_available_rps

Limit on the available requests per second (RPS) for a cluster controller log.

Type: gauge

Labels:

  • redpanda_cmd_group=("move_operations" | "topic_operations" | "configuration_operations" | "node_management_operations" | "acls_and_users_operations")


redpanda_cluster_controller_log_limit_requests_dropped

Number of requests dropped by a cluster controller log due to exceeding redpanda_cluster_controller_log_limit_requests_available_rps.

Type: counter

Labels:

  • redpanda_cmd_group=("move_operations" | "topic_operations" | "configuration_operations" | "node_management_operations" | "acls_and_users_operations")

Usage: When this counter increases, it indicates that the controller is dropping requests.


redpanda_cluster_non_homogenous_fips_mode

Number of brokers that have a non-homogenous FIPS mode value.

Type: gauge


redpanda_cluster_partition_moving_from_node

Number of partition replicas in the cluster that are currently being removed from a node.

Type: gauge

Usage: When this gauge is non-zero, determine whether there is an expected or unexpected reassignment of partitions that is causing movement of partition replicas.


redpanda_cluster_partition_moving_to_node

Number of partition replicas in the cluster that are currently being added or moved to a node.

Type: gauge

Usage: When this gauge is non-zero, determine whether there is an expected or unexpected reassignment of partitions that is causing movement of partition replicas.


redpanda_cluster_partition_node_cancelling_movements

During a partition movement cancellation operation, the number of partition replicas that were being moved that now need to be cancelled.

Type: gauge

How to monitor: When this gauge is non-zero, determine whether there is an expected or unexpected reassignment of partitions that is causing movement of partition replicas.


redpanda_cluster_partitions

Number of partitions managed by a cluster. Includes partitions of the controller topic, but not replicas.

Type: gauge


redpanda_cluster_topics

Number of topics in a cluster.

Type: gauge


redpanda_cluster_unavailable_partitions

Number of unavailable partitions (the partitions that lack quorum among their replica group) in the cluster.

Type: gauge

Usage: When this gauge is non-zero, it indicates that a partition(s) doesn’t have quorum and thus doesn’t have an active leader. To mitigate, consider increasing the number of brokers and the partition replication factor.


redpanda_cluster_latest_cluster_metadata_manifest_age

The amount of time in seconds since the last time Redpanda uploaded metadata files to Tiered Storage for your cluster. A value of 0 indicates metadata has not yet been uploaded.

When performing a whole cluster restore operation, the metadata for the new cluster will not have any changes made to a source cluster that is newer than this age.

Type: gauge

Usage: On a healthy system, this should not exceed the value set for cloud_storage_cluster_metadata_upload_interval_ms. You may consider setting an alert if this remains 0 for longer than 1.5 * cloud_storage_cluster_metadata_upload_interval_ms as that may indicate a configuration issue.
