StarRocks provides a variety of metrics for managing warehouses and monitoring the warehouse query queue.

Metric items​

warehouse_query_queue​

  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Warehouse query queue metrics with different field labels to monitor various aspects of the warehouse query processing.

Field labels​

query_pending_length​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Number of queries currently pending in the warehouse's query queue.
query_running_length​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Number of queries currently running in the warehouse.
max_query_queue_length​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Maximum length of the query queue for the warehouse.
earliest_query_wait_time​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Wait time of the earliest query in the queue (in seconds). 0.0 is returned if not set.
max_query_pending_time_second​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Maximum time (in seconds) that a query has been in the pending state in the warehouse's query queue.
max_required_slots​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Maximum number of slots required by any query that has not been allocated with one yet.
sum_required_slots​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Sum of all required slots for queries that have not been allocated with one yet.
remain_slots​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Number of available slots remained in the warehouse.
max_slots​
  • Type: Gauge
  • Description: Maximum number of slots available in the warehouse.

Usage examples​

Monitor the status of the warehouse's query queue​

You can use these metrics to monitor the health and performance of your warehouses:

# Check pending queries in all warehouses
warehouse_query_queue{field="query_pending_length"}

# Check running queries in all warehouses
warehouse_query_queue{field="query_running_length"}

# Monitor slot utilization
warehouse_query_queue{field="remain_slots"} / warehouse_query_queue{field="max_slots"}

Metric labels​

All warehouse metrics include the following labels:

  • warehouse_id: The unique identifier of the warehouse
  • warehouse_name: The name of the warehouse
  • field: The specific field being measured (as listed above)

These labels allow you to filter and group metrics by specific warehouses and monitor their individual performance characteristics.
