Valkey Admin

Dashboard

The Valkey Admin dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your cluster’s health, performance, and key metrics at a glance.

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The dashboard is your central hub for monitoring cluster node activity, displaying real-time metrics, node status, and performance indicators.

Dashboard Overview

Key Metrics

Section titled “Key Metrics”

Stat Cards

Section titled “Stat Cards”

The top of the dashboard displays four summary cards for the connected node:

  • Total Memory: The server’s configured maxmemory (or total system memory if unbounded)
  • Used Memory: Current memory consumption
  • Operations: Total commands processed
  • Hit Ratio: Cache hit rate (keyspace hits vs misses)

Metric Groups

Section titled “Metric Groups”

Below the stat cards, searchable accordion sections display detailed metrics from the Valkey INFO command:

  • Memory Usage Metrics: Detailed metrics for tracking Valkey’s memory usage across data, scripts, functions, and peak consumption.
  • Uptime Metrics: Tracks server uptime and script eviction to monitor overall system activity and availability.
  • Replication & Persistence: Metrics that track database snapshots, data changes, and replication backlog health to ensure reliable syncing and persistence.
  • Client Connectivity: Metrics tracking client connections, activity, and connection limits to monitor workload and health.
  • Command Execution: Metrics showing command volume, failures, slow operations, and errors to evaluate performance and stability.
  • Data Effectiveness & Eviction: Tracks key activity, expirations, evictions, and cache hit-rates to assess data efficiency and access performance.
  • Messaging: Tracks Pub/Sub channels, patterns, and clients to measure real-time activity.

Use the search bar to filter metrics by name across all groups.

Real-Time Usage Metrics

Section titled “Real-Time Usage Metrics”

The dashboard shows CPU and memory usage metrics at configurable intervals:

  • Default: 1 hour
  • Configurable: Adjust to see usage over 6H and 12H

Metrics and Anomaly Detection

Section titled “Metrics and Anomaly Detection”

The metrics view displays a grid of time-series charts, giving a detailed breakdown of CPU and memory behavior over the selected interval.

Metrics and Anomaly Detection

Chart Description
CPU Usage Over Time Real-time CPU utilization monitoring
Allocated Bytes How much physical memory is actively being used by data and internal structures
Active Bytes How much memory has been accessed or touched by Valkey, including unused bytes
Resident Bytes How much actual physical memory this process occupies in RAM
Peak Allocated Bytes The maximum amount of memory jemalloc has ever allocated to Valkey
Dataset Bytes How much memory is used to store actual Valkey data
Overhead Bytes Memory spent on internal, non-data structures — Valkey’s own overhead
Dataset Percentage Fraction of allocated memory being used for actual data
Fragmentation Ratio A value growing over time may indicate memory fragmentation

Anomaly detection highlights unusual patterns across these charts, making it easier to spot memory leaks, unexpected spikes, or fragmentation trends before they affect cluster performance.
