Just look at the various metrics in Prometheus… Basically, everything is monitored.

Which specific items can you mention? There are too many TiDB monitoring metrics, and I don’t know how to use the monitoring more effectively.

Check the official documentation, it’s very detailed. You can pick the parts you’re interested in.

I have looked at the monitoring items in the documentation, there are too many. Can you list which items are generally focused on?

Is it possible to directly see the processes in the operating system?

There is indeed too much content to monitor, so you can only learn and sort it out slowly by yourself.

You can directly check the PD Dashboard.

You can take a look, it should be enough to focus on the key metrics.

Well, who can refuse a useful Dashboard?

TiDB’s monitoring is based on Prometheus, which is indeed quite excellent.
