Dashboard

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

Overview

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

Key Metrics

Cluster Health

• Cluster Node DropDown: View online/offline status of all cluster nodes
• Node Metrics: View INFO command metrics
• Key Type Distribution: Share of stored key types
• Memory Usage: Monitor memory consumption across nodes
• CPU Usage: Real-time CPU utilization metrics

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

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

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.
