Compute metrics

Metrics that are used to generate compute alerts are added to the alerting rules and can be found in these files on any node in the cluster:

  • /var/lib/prometheus/alerts/docker.rules
  • /var/lib/prometheus/alerts/openstack_cluster.rules
  • /var/lib/prometheus/alerts/openstack_node.rules
  • /var/lib/prometheus/alerts/openstack_projects.rules
  • /var/lib/prometheus/alerts/openstack_services.rules
  • /var/lib/prometheus/alerts/rabbitmq.rules

The most important of these metrics are described in the table:
