Metrics reference

General metrics

General instance information.

• tnt_cfg_current_time - instance system time in Unix timestamp format
• tnt_info_uptime – time since instance was started, in seconds

Memory general

These metrics provide a picture of memory usage by Tarantool process.

• tnt_info_info_memory_cache - number of bytes in the cache for the tuples stored for the vinyl storage engine.
• tnt_info_info_memory_data - number of bytes used for storing user data (the tuples) with the memtx engine and with level 0 of the vinyl engine, without taking memory fragmentation into account.
• tnt_info_info_memory_index - number of bytes used for indexing user data, including memtx and vinyl memory tree extents, the vinyl page index, and the vinyl bloom filters.
• tnt_info_info_memory_lua - number of bytes used for Lua runtime. Lua memory is bounded by 2 GB per instance. Monitoring of this metric can prevent memory overflow.
• tnt_info_info_memory_net - number of bytes used for network input/output buffers.
• tnt_info_info_memory_tx - number of bytes in use by active transactions. For the vinyl storage engine, this is the total size of all allocated objects (struct txv, struct vy_tx, struct vy_read_interval) and tuples pinned for those objects.

Memory allocation

Provides memory usage report for the slab allocator. The slab allocator is the main allocator used to store tuples. This can be used to monitor the total memory usage and memory fragmentation. To learn more about use cases, see this

Available memory, bytes:

• tnt_slab_quota_size - the amount of memory available to store tuples and indexes, equals memtx_memory
• tnt_slab_arena_size - the total memory used for tuples and indexes together (including allocated, but currently free slabs)
• tnt_slab_items_size - the total amount of memory (including allocated, but currently free slabs) used only for tuples, no indexes

Memory usage, bytes:

• tnt_slab_quota_used - the amount of memory that is already reserved by the slab allocator
• tnt_slab_arena_used - the efficient memory used for storing tuples and indexes together (omitting allocated, but currently free slabs)
• tnt_slab_items_used - the efficient amount of memory (omitting allocated, but currently free slabs) used only for tuples, no indexes

Memory utilization, %:

• tnt_slab_quota_used_ratio - tnt_slab_quota_used / tnt_slab_quota_size
• tnt_slab_arena_used_ratio - tnt_slab_arena_used / tnt_slab_arena_used
• tnt_slab_items_used_ratio - tnt_slab_items_used / tnt_slab_items_size

Spaces

Those metrics provide specific information about each individual space in Tarantool instance.

• tnt_space_len - number of records in space. This metric always has 2 labels - {name="test", engine="memtx"}. name - the name of the space, engine - is the engine of the space.
• tnt_space_bsize - the total number of bytes in all tuples. This metric always has 2 labels - {name="test", engine="memtx"}. name - the name of the space, engine - is the engine of the space.
• tnt_space_index_bsize - the total number of bytes taken by the index. This metric always has 2 labels - {name="test", index_name="pk"}. name - the name of the space, index_name - is the name of the index.
• tnt_space_total_bsize - the total size of tuples and all indexes in space. This metric always has 2 labels - {name="test", engine="memtx"}. name - the name of the space, engine - is the engine of the space.
• tnt_space_count - the total tuples count for vinyl. This metric always has labels - {name="test", engine="vinyl"}. name - the name of the space. engine - is the engine of the space.

Network

Network activity stats. This can be used to monitor network load, usage peaks and traffic drops.

Sent bytes:

• tnt_net_sent_total - bytes sent from this instance over network since instance start

Received bytes:

• tnt_net_received_total - bytes this instance has received since instance start

Connections:

• tnt_net_connections_total - number of incoming network connections since instance start
• tnt_net_connections_current - number of active network connections

Requests:

• tnt_net_requests_total - number of network requests this instance has handled since instance start
• tnt_net_requests_current - amount of pending network requests

Fibers

Provides statistics of fibers. If your app creates a lot of fibers, it can be used for monitoring fibers count and memory usage.

• tnt_fiber_count - number of fibers
• tnt_fiber_csw - averall amount of fibers context switches
• tnt_fiber_memalloc - the amount of memory that is reserved for fibers
• tnt_fiber_memused - the amount of memory that is used by fibers

Operations

Number of iproto requests this instance has processed, aggregated by request type. It can be used to find out which type of operation clients make more often.

• tnt_stats_op_total - total number of calls since server start

That metric have operation label to be able to distinguish different request types, e.g.: {operation="select"}

Request type could be one of:

• delete - delete calls
• error - requests resulted in an error
• update - update calls
• call - requests to execute stored procedures
• auth - authentication requests
• eval - calls to evaluate lua code
• replace - replace call
• execute - execute SQL calls
• select - select calls
• upsert - upsert calls
• prepare - SQL prepare calls
• insert - insert calls

Replication

Provides information of current replication status. To learn more about replication mechanism in Tarantool, see this

• tnt_info_lsn – LSN of instance
• tnt_info_vclock – LSN number in vclock. This metric always has label - {id="id"}, where id is instance number in replicaset
• tnt_replication_replica_<id>_lsn / tnt_replication_master_<id>_lsn - LSN of master/replica, id is instance number in replicaset
• tnt_replication_<id>_lag - replication lag value in seconds, id is instance number in replicaset

Runtime

• tnt_runtime_lua – Lua garbage collector size in bytes
• tnt_runtime_used - number of bytes used for Lua runtime

Cartridge

• cartridge_issues - Number of issues <https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/book/cartridge/cartridge_api/modules/cartridge.issues/> across cluster instances. This metric always has labels - {level="critical"}. level - the level of the issue. critical level is associated with critical cluster problems, e.g. memory used ratio > 90%, warning is associated with other cluster problems, e.g. replication issues on cluster.

CPU metrics

Those metrics provides CPU usage statistics. Only for Linux.
