PolarDB:Instance monitoring

Last Updated:Aug 27, 2026

PolarDB-X 1.0 provides an instance monitoring feature to help you track the health and performance of your instances. This topic describes how to view performance monitoring metrics for a PolarDB-X 1.0 instance on the Instance Monitoring page.

Instance monitoring metrics

Metric category Monitoring metric Parameter Description
Resource CPU cpu The average CPU utilization of the compute nodes in the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance.
Memory Capacity old The memory utilization of the compute nodes in the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance. Fluctuations in memory utilization are normal.
Network netin (inbound traffic) The total inbound traffic of the compute nodes in the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance, measured in Kbit/s. Inbound traffic is generated when storage nodes return data to compute nodes.
netout (outbound traffic) The total outbound traffic of the compute nodes in the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance, measured in Kbit/s. Outbound traffic is generated when compute nodes send physical SQL statements to storage nodes or return data to applications.
Engine Logical QPS lqps The total number of SQL statements processed per second by the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance.
Physical QPS pqps PolarDB-X 1.0The total number of SQL operations sent from compute nodes to storage nodes per second.
Logical RT lrt The average response time for each SQL statement processed by the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance.
Physical RT prt PolarDB-X 1.0The average response time for SQL statements sent from compute nodes to storage nodes.
Active Connections con The total number of connections from applications to the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance.
Active Threads thread The number of threads used to execute SQL statements in the PolarDB-X 1.0 instance.
Note
  • The data collection interval is 1 minute for all Resource metrics and 5 seconds for all Engine metrics.
  • You can view monitoring data from the last 7 days.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the PolarDB-X 1.0 console.

  2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where the instance is deployed.

  3. On the Instances, find the target instance and click its ID.
  4. In the left-side navigation pane, click Monitoring and Alerting > Instance Monitoring.
  5. On the Instance Monitoring page, configure the following parameters:
    Parameter Description
    Metrics Select Resource or Engine.
    Metrics Select the monitoring metric that you want to view. For more information, see Instance monitoring metrics.
    Query time Select a predefined time range, such as 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, or 1 week, or specify a custom time range from 1 minute to 7 days.
