Commonly used Prometheus metrics

The Prometheus service on Admin Nodes collects time series metrics from the services on all nodes. While Prometheus collects more than a thousand metrics, a relatively small number are required to monitor the most critical StorageGRID operations.
The following table lists the most commonly used Prometheus metrics and provides a mapping of each metric to the equivalent attribute (used in the alarm system).
You can refer to this list to better understand the conditions in the default alert rules or to construct the conditions for custom alert rules. For a complete list of metrics, select Help > API Documentation.

Metrics that include private in their names are intended for internal use only and are subject to change between StorageGRID releases without notice. |
|
|
Prometheus metrics are retained for 31 days. |

|
storagegrid_storage_utilization_metadata_bytes |
An estimate of the total size of replicated and erasure coded object data on the Storage Node. |
storagegrid_storage_utilization_metadata_allowed_bytes |
The total space on volume 0 of each Storage Node that is allowed for object metadata. This value is always less than the actual space reserved for metadata on a node, because a portion of the reserved space is required for essential database operations (such as compaction and repair) and future hardware and software upgrades.The allowed space for object metadata controls overall object capacity. |

The amount of object metadata on storage volume 0, in bytes. |
storagegrid_storage_utilization_metadata_reserved_bytes |
The total space on volume 0 of each Storage Node that is actually reserved for object metadata. For any given Storage Node, the actual reserved space for metadata depends on the size of volume 0 for the node and the system-wide Metadata Reserved Space setting. |
storagegrid_storage_utilization_total_space_bytes |
The total amount of storage space allocated to all object stores. |
storagegrid_storage_utilization_usable_space_bytes |
The total amount of object storage space remaining. Calculated by adding together the amount of available space for all object stores on the Storage Node. |
