Monitor a vector database

Open the Monitoring tab to see how busy the Qdrant cluster of a database is: its CPU and memory use, and the requests it serves.

Before you begin

You need a database in the Running state and a role with Read permission on Vector Database.

Read the graphs

1. In Manage Vector Database, select the database’s row, then open Monitoring.
2. Under Metric Type, choose Hardware or Service.
3. In Interval, choose Last 5 minutes, Last hour, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days or Last month.
4. To load the latest values, select the refresh button.

Hardware shows CPU Utilization and CPU Memory Utilization for the nodes. Service shows:

• REST request count and gRPC request count, the requests the database received, including the ones that failed.
• Average REST response duration and Average gRPC response duration, how long responses take.
• Total pending operations, the operations waiting in the cluster.

The Overview tab also shows Total number of collections, Total number of vectors and Total cluster peers, the number of nodes in the cluster, while the database is Running.

What to do next

After you scale up, check Total pending operations.
