Your default permissions enable you to obtain metrics for all the virtual machines (VMs) in your projects.
If you have Platform Administrator (PA) role permissions, you can also access the metrics for all VMs in all projects. Those metrics include the user workload VMs and the VMs used as user cluster nodes.
For information on the VM-level metrics dashboard and details about how the dashboard presents the metrics visually, see Monitor VM metrics.
Use the namespace
label to filter the VMs in different namespaces.
Metrics list
Name and Description | Type | Scrape interval | Labels | |
---|---|---|---|---|
compute_instance_cpu_usage | ||||
The amount of time each vCPU spends in different states. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_memory_available_bytes |
||||
The amount of memory available to the VM. | Gauge | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_memory_usable_bytes |
||||
The amount of memory that you can give to the VM from the available memory without having to use the swap or ballooning. | Gauge | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_memory_total_bytes |
||||
The amount of memory that the VM actually uses. | Gauge | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_bytes_allocated |
||||
Count of bytes totally allocated to the disk from the underlying storage system. | Gauge | 1 min |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_bytes_used |
||||
Count of bytes that the disk uses in the underlying storage system. This metric reflects on total disk storage being utilized. However, the metric lacks visibility into the actual file system usage, which is only known to the guest operating system. | Gauge | 1 min |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_read_bytes_count |
||||
Count of bytes read from disk. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_write_bytes_count |
||||
Count of bytes written to disk. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_read_ops_count |
||||
Count of disk I/O read operations. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_write_ops_count |
||||
Count of disk I/O write operations. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_read_time_ms |
||||
The cumulative time spent on the read operations that are in progress. That is, the actual time in queue and when disks are busy. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_write_time_ms |
||||
The cumulative time spent on the write operations that are in progress. That is, the actual time in queue and when disks are busy. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_flush_requests_total |
||||
Storage flush requests. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_disk_flush_times_ms |
||||
Total time in microseconds spent on cache flushing. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_received_bytes_count |
||||
Count of bytes received from the network. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_received_packet_count |
||||
Count of the packets received from the network. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_sent_bytes_count |
||||
Count of bytes sent to the network. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_sent_packet_count |
||||
Count of packets sent to the network. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_receive_errors_count |
||||
Count of error packets received. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_receive_packets_dropped_count |
||||
The number of RX packets dropped on vNIC interfaces. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_transmit_errors_count |
||||
Count of network error packets transmitted. | Counter | 10 s |
|
|
compute_instance_network_transmit_packets_dropped_count |
||||
The number of TX packets dropped on vNIC interfaces. | Counter | 10 s |
