ServiceWatch metric

Vertica sends metrics to ServiceWatch. The metrics provided by basic monitoring are data collected at 1‑minute intervals.

Reference

For how to view metrics in ServiceWatch, refer to the ServiceWatch guide.

Basic Metrics

The following are the basic metrics for the Vertica(DBaaS) namespace.

The indicators whose names are shown in bold below are the key indicators selected from the basic indicators provided by Vertica(DBaaS). The key metrics are used to build service dashboards that are automatically created for each service in ServiceWatch.

Each metric provides guidance in the user guide on which statistical values are meaningful when viewing that metric, and among the meaningful statistics, the values shown in bold are the primary statistics. In the service dashboard, you can view key metrics through primary statistical values.
