Chart Name	What it shows	When to use it
CPU Utilization	The percentage of the host’s CPU that is being used: max single-core load: The maximum CPU load across all of the available CPU cores avg core load: The average CPU load across all of the available CPU cores min single-core load: The minimum CPU load across all of the available CPU cores	To understand CPU usage and host resource usage in general, or for a given workload.
Memory Utilization	The percent of the host’s memory that is being used	To understand host memory usage for a given workload over time.
Local Disk Utilization	The local disk utilization for the cluster Total storage can be managed by dropping obsolete tables and/or purging older data in large tables.	To identify the amount of warm data so preventive actions can be taken to better handle the load, thereby ensuring stability and optimum performance.
Read/Write Queries per Second	The number of reads/writes per second of the queries running on the system	To understand typical (“normal”) cluster activity to benchmark workloads and their query rate and identify anomalies in the read/write workload. If the number of rows read or written is very high or uneven, it could indicate that some queries or operations are taking longer to process than others. This can be due to poor indexing, inefficient queries, or database design issues.
Failed Read/Write Queries per Second	The number of reads/writes failed per second of the queries running on the system
Rows Read or Written	The number of rows read/written
Network Received or Sent Bytes	The network bytes sent and received	To understand network usage for a given workload, identify bottlenecks, and determine if any non-SingleStore activity is affecting a host’s network.
Execution Time per Read/Write Query	The elapsed time of read/write query	To identify changes in the pattern of execution time per read/write query from the historical norm. This may indicate an issue with an application or changes in your workload.
Threads - Connected	The number of open connections (`threads_connected`) to the database relative to the maximum limit (`max_connections`)	To identify if the database is approaching the maximum allowed connections, which is indicated by a utilization near 100%. This can potentially lead to performance issues, as queries may need to wait in a queue until threads become available to process them.
Threads - Running	The number of threads that are actively running queries (`threads_running`) relative to the maximum limit (`max_connection_threads`)	To identify if the system is approaching its capacity with regard to the number of queries that can be executed in parallel, which is indicated by a utilization near 100%. This can potentially lead to resource pressure, system unresponsiveness, latency spikes, and eventual failures.

Detailed Cluster View by Node

Chart Name	What it shows	When to use it
All Metrics in Cluster View Reported per Node	All metrics in cluster view reported per node	To understand resource utilization of a node and to ensure the workload is evenly distributed across nodes for ideal performance.

Disk Usage

Note: Requires SingleStore version 8.0.23 or later.

Chart Name	What it shows	When to use it
Disk Utilization	Disk utilization for the cluster Total storage can be managed by dropping obsolete tables and/or purging older data in large tables.	To identify the quantity of warm data so preventive action can be taken to better handle the load, thereby ensuring stability and optimum performance.
Distribution of Components Using Disk	Distribution of disk utilization by data, plancache, auditlogs, and tracelogs	To understand how the disk is being utilized. Analyzing disk usage can reveal if certain artifacts (such as data, plancache, audit logs, or trace logs) are consuming an excessive amount of space. This can either cause performance issues, or require additional resources to maintain optimal operation. Monitoring disk usage and activity can also help identify performance bottlenecks, which may require disk policies to be adjusted, additional resources to be allocated, and/or your workload to be optimized.
Breakdown of Disk Utilization by Data	Disk consumption breakdown by "Data" category Adding utilization across blobs, transaction logs, snapshots, temp blobs, etc. will be equal to the total disk utilized by "Data."
Distribution of Databases Using Disk	Distribution of disk utilization by databases. Adding utilization across databases will be equal to the total disk utilized by "Data."
Blob Cache Downloaded per Second (by Database)	Rate at which the blob cache is downloading files from remote storage	To understand how SingleStore's blob cache is performing. By understanding and monitoring the rate at which the blob cache is downloading files from remote storage, potential performance bottlenecks and/or issues related to blob cache activity can be identified. For example, if high download rates are observed relative to the size of your database and scale of your hardware, you may consider increasing the local cache size. Regularly reviewing this metric can help you make well-informed decisions for optimizing the performance of SingleStore.
Blob Cache Evicted per Second (by Database)	Rate at which the blob cache is evicting files	To understand how SingleStore’s blob cache is performing. By understanding and monitoring the rate at which the blob cache is evicting files, system resource utilization can be optimized based on your data management needs. A high eviction rate may indicate that the cache size is insufficient, or that your workload is imposing a high cache turnover. To improve overall cluster performance, reviewing data access patterns and adjusting the cache size is recommended. Regularly reviewing this metric can help you identify potential performance bottlenecks and make well-informed decisions for optimizing the performance of SingleStore.
