Metrics

Metrics dashboard showing database performance monitoring with CPU, memory, and disk usage charts

Monitor your database performance across instances with real-time metrics including CPU, memory, disk usage, and more. You can view trends as far back as 30 days with minute level granularity. The same metrics are available from a terminal with xata branch metrics, including a live view via -w that renders a dashboard in an interactive terminal and streams NDJSON when piped into another process.

Aggregations

Xata provides various aggregation methods to help you analyze your metrics data effectively.

Average: Mean values over time periods
Min/Max: Peak and valley values
Percentiles: P50, P95, P99 for performance analysis Coming Soon

Metric Definitions

By default, all metrics have a 1 minute granularity and a retention period of 30 days.

Metric	Description	Unit
CPU Usage	Shows the cumulative usage by combining all available cores (e.g. 200% = two fully used cores)	Percentage
Memory Usage	Shows the amount of memory being used by your application	Bytes
Disk Usage	Shows the amount of disk being used by your application	Bytes
Connection Count	Shows the number of active and idle client connections to your database	Count
Read Throughput	Shows the amount of data read in bytes	Bytes
Write Throughput	Shows the amount of data written in bytes	Bytes
Network Ingress	Shows the amount of incoming network traffic to your database instances	Bytes
Network Egress	Shows the amount of outgoing network traffic from your database instances	Bytes
Read Latency	Shows the time it takes to complete read operations in milliseconds	Milliseconds
Write Latency	Shows the time it takes to complete write operations in milliseconds	Milliseconds
Read IOPS	Shows the number of read operations performed by your database instances	Count
Write IOPS	Shows the number of write operations performed by your database instances	Count
Wal Sync Time	Shows the time it takes to synchronize Write-Ahead Log (WAL) data to disk in milliseconds	Milliseconds
Replication Lag	Shows the time it takes for the replica to catch up with the primary	Seconds
