System Metrics

This page documents Prometheus metrics that reflect the overall uptime and availability status of key Yellowbrick system components, including the Lime service and the platform as a whole.

Purpose

System-level metrics are essential for tracking service health, restart behavior, and uptime baselines. Specifically, they help:

• Monitor whether the system is currently marked as “up” or “down”
• Track the total uptime duration of services (e.g., Lime/Cluster Manager)
• Detect unexpected restarts or prolonged downtimes

Metrics

yb_system_is_up	gauge	1m	-	7.3.0	-	Is the system up and running
yb_system_uptime_seconds	gauge	1m	-	7.3.0	-	YB system uptime in seconds
yb_system_version	gauge	1m	version	7.3.2	-	The current version (seen on the version label) of the Yellowbrick system. The sampled value will always be 1.
