Metrics
For a complete list of metrics, including their descriptions, attributes, and units, refer to the Actian Monitor Metrics.
Metrics with the prefix db_ingres are applicable to all products. Metrics with the prefix db_vector are specific to Vector and X100-based tables.
Each metric also includes a sample rate, which indicates how often the metric is computed. This rate can be modified by editing otelagent.yaml in the configuration directory.
Metrics can be enabled or disabled in otelagent.yaml:
metrics:
- ema_name: activeQueriesDetail # Do not modify
sample_rate_seconds: 30 # Seconds between refreshes
enabled: auto # 'auto' to fetch if supported, 'false' to disable
Metrics will not appear in the dashboard metric lists until they have been calculated and return data. For example, a metric with a sample rate of 3600 seconds will not appear until Actian Monitor has been running for at least one hour and that metric returns a value.
Note:  If you make any changes to the metric, you will need to restart Docker Compose after making the change.
Metrics may also remain hidden if the condition they track has not occurred. For instance, db_ingres_checkpoint_age will not appear until at least one database has performed a checkpoint.
NOTE: Grafana will add the units to the end of metric names for common unit types (e.g. bytes, percent, etc.).
