Replication and Backup Metrics
This page documents Prometheus metrics related to data replication, backup, restore, load, and unload workflows in Yellowbrick. These operations are essential for durability, disaster recovery, and data movement across environments.
Purpose
These metrics allow you to track:
- Replication behavior: Duration, cycle counts, errors, retries, throughput per replica
- Operations: Backup, restore, load, and unload counts and durations
- Operational health: Success/failure breakdowns and replica state transitions
They are critical for monitoring long-running data operations, detecting replication lag or errors, validating backup freshness, and ensuring recovery readiness.
