Scalar Manager Metrics Reference
This document provides a list of explanations for all metrics available in Scalar Manager, via Grafana, to help you monitor the performance, health, and operational status of your ScalarDB deployments.
Understanding the metrics ​
Before exploring the specific metrics, it's important to understand how they are measured:
- Rate metrics (per one second): These metrics measure the frequency of operations, indicating how many times a specific operation occurs each second.
- Execution time metrics (percentile): These metrics measure how long operations take to complete, presented as percentiles (p50, p90, p99). Execution times are measured in milliseconds. For example:
- p50 (median): 50% of operations complete faster than this time
- p90: 90% of operations complete faster than this time
- p99: 99% of operations complete faster than this time
Higher percentile values (especially p99) help identify worst-case performance scenarios that might affect user experience even when average performance seems acceptable.
In the tables below, related rate and execution time metrics are grouped together for clarity.
