Today, I suddenly found that the TiKV in the dashboard host list became unable to retrieve information, but querying all nodes on the tiup cluster display server showed normal status.

Check the status of the PD leader to see if it is normal.
Look at the logs to see if there are any errors.

How about switching the service instance of the dashboard?
But some historical data will be lost.

I feel that his machine’s memory is too small, only 8GB. The SQL on the dashboard consumes a lot of memory, causing the instance to display abnormally.
