By checking the monitoring: Grafana → TiKV → errors to confirm the specific busy reason. server is busy is TiKV’s own flow control mechanism. TiKV uses this method to inform tidb/ti-client that the current TiKV is under too much pressure and to try again later.
That means the flow control was not triggered, but this page is mainly used to monitor flow control, including write stall, compaction pile-up, L0 SST pile-up, etc. You can specifically check which command’s delay has increased on the Throttle duration.
Flow control is the monitoring of scheduler flow control after version 5.2. Check if storage.flow-control is enabled. There is indeed relatively little specific description in the official documentation.
