Monitoring Clusters¶
You can monitor your cluster’s state in real-time via a set of dashboards. They allow you to quickly identify and fix issues that impact the cluster’s health and performance. For example, you can review the status of your nodes, read and write latencies, throughput and storage, historical trends, memory, compactions, alerts about potential problems, and much more. You can drill down from high-level to detailed dashboards and display information by DC, node, or shard.
Click the Monitoring tab in your cluster’s view to access the dashboards and review the information for your cluster.
The monitoring information is kept for 45 days.
Monitoring Vector Search¶
If Vector Search is enabled on your cluster, a dedicated Vector Search dashboard is available in the cluster’s monitoring view. It shows the status of vector search nodes, loaded indexes, disk usage, and memory utilization. Vector search nodes also export application-level Prometheus metrics (e.g., query latency, insert throughput, and vector count per index).
See Monitoring Vector Search Clusters for details on available metrics and example PromQL queries.
Extracting Cluster Metrics in Prometheus Format¶
ScyllaDB clusters collect and report metrics regarding their workloads and health. By default, the metrics are sent to the ScyllaDB Cloud Prometheus server, where they are monitored by the ScyllaDB Cloud team. The most important subset of these metrics is available on the ScyllaDB Cloud monitoring page in the ScyllaDB Cloud web UI.
In addition, you can use a Prometheus proxy to access your cluster metrics outside of the ScyllaDB Cloud service and monitor them with another tool. A Prometheus proxy allows you to extract data to an external third-party tool that reads the Prometheus format, such as Datadog.
See Extract Cluster Metrics in Prometheus Format for instructions how to extract your cluster metrics in the Prometheus format.
