    Capella Columnar provides metrics that allow you to monitor your clusters.

    You can use the Capella Columnar Monitoring dashboard to access a customizable collection of metrics and gain insight into the performance of your cluster.

    With the Monitoring dashboard, you can:

    • Investigate issues and identify runtime outliers

    • Customize the dashboard to only track specific metrics

    • View all of those metrics in one place

    The Monitoring dashboard includes the following elements:

    Element Description

    Metrics

    The metrics list includes every metric available for Columnar clusters. You can select metrics to add or remove them from your dashboard.

    Timeframe

    The timeframe filter lets you switch between preselected timeframes or set your own custom timeframe.

    By default, the Auto refresh option is turned off. When turned on, it refreshes the dashboard with the most recent data based on the the 1-minute or 2-minute refresh rate you choose. The auto-refresh feature is only available with the 30-minute, 1-hour, or 2-hour timeframe options.

    Metric tile

    The tiles that populate when you choose metrics from the metrics list.

    Monitor Metrics in the Monitoring Dashboard

    To monitor your metrics in the Monitoring dashboard:

    1. In your Columnar cluster, go to Monitoring.

    2. Select the metric you want to monitor from the Metrics drop-down. For a list of all metrics available, see available metrics.

    3. Select a timeframe to apply to the metric. You can choose one of the predetermined timeframes, or click to set a custom timeframe. The dashboard then populates a metric tile with information about the metric and timeframe you selected.

    After you have populated the dashboard with a metric tile, you can view details about that metric:

    • Hold the mouse pointer over a specific part of the metric chart to display information about its date, time, and resources.

    • Hold and drag the mouse pointer over a timeframe on the chart to zoom in on details about that specific timeframe. Doing this updates the timeframe for all metric tiles on your dashboard.

    Capella Columnar draws metrics charts down to 60-second (1-minute) resolution. This resolution is available for charts using the 30m, 1h, and 2h timeframes.

    When you select a longer timeframe, Columnar automatically updates the chart data resolution to the following:

    • 1d down to 360 seconds (6 minutes) resolution

    • 2d down to 720 seconds (12 minutes) resolution

    • 7d down to 2520 seconds (42 minutes) resolution

    • 30d down to 10800 seconds (3 hours) resolution
