Managed Agent Memory Metrics and Alerts Reference
- reference
Reference for the metrics on the Managed Agent Memory monitoring dashboard and the alerts that Capella sends for a Managed Agent Memory server.
For how to view the dashboard and receive alerts, see Monitor Managed Agent Memory.
Metrics
The following table lists the Agent Memory server metric behind each card and chart on the monitoring dashboard. Rates and percentiles use a 5-minute window.

Model health |
|
Lowest value of the embedding model and LLM components.
|
Health |

|
Maximum across nodes. |
Alerts
Capella sends the following alerts for each Agent Memory server. Capella checks each alert on each node, except the 2 retrieval latency alerts. You cannot change their conditions.
| Alert | Severity | Fires when |
|---|---|---|
Agent Memory Read/Write Error Rate |
Critical |
More than 2% of requests return a service error ( |
Agent Memory Model Provider Error Rate |
Critical |
More than 5% of calls to your embedding model or LLM fail over 5 minutes, with at least 10 errors. Check the status of your model provider and your OpenAI integrations. |
Agent Memory Queue Depth |
Critical |
The extraction queue, including items in progress, is more than 90% full.
When the queue is full, requests to add memory return HTTP |
Agent Memory Model/DB Unreachable |
Critical |
Your server cannot reach your models or your cluster for more than 5 consecutive health checks. |
Agent Memory Key Revoked |
Critical |
The OpenAI API key for your embedding model or LLM is deleted or revoked. Your server needs a valid key. |
Agent Memory KV retrieval latency has degraded and requires investigation. |
Critical |
The 99th percentile latency of key-value reads over 5 minutes is more than twice the 99th percentile for the previous hour, with at least 20 samples. |
Agent Memory semantic search retrieval latency has degraded and requires investigation. |
Critical |
The 99th percentile latency of semantic search over 5 minutes is more than twice the 99th percentile for the previous hour, with at least 20 samples. |
Agent Memory Custom Prompt Fallback |
Warning |
Within the last 15 minutes, Agent Memory extracted memory with the default prompt because it could not load a custom prompt. For more information, see Customize Extraction and Summarization Prompts. |
Agent Memory Storage Capacity Warning |
Warning |
A node has used 80% or more of its disk storage. If the disk fills, requests to add memory fail. |
