Prometheus Metrics

Prometheus metrics exported by Kueue

Kueue exposes prometheus metrics to monitor the health of the system and the status of ClusterQueues.

Kueue health

Use the following metrics to monitor the health of the kueue controllers:

Metric nameTypeDescriptionLabels
kueue_admission_attempts_totalCounterThe total number of attempts to admit workloads. Each admission attempt might try to admit more than one workload.result: possible values are success or inadmissible
kueue_admission_attempt_duration_secondsHistogramThe latency of an admission attempt.result: possible values are success or inadmissible

ClusterQueue status

Use the following metrics to monitor the status of your ClusterQueues:

Metric nameTypeDescriptionLabels
kueue_pending_workloadsGaugeThe number of pending workloads.cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
status: possible values are active or inadmissible
kueue_quota_reserved_workloads_totalCounterThe total number of quota reserved workloads.cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
kueue_quota_reserved_wait_time_secondsHistogramThe time between a workload was created or requeued until it got quota reservation.cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
kueue_admitted_workloads_totalCounterThe total number of admitted workloads.cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
kueue_evicted_workloads_totalCounterThe total number of evicted workloads.cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
reason: Possible values are Preempted, PodsReadyTimeout, AdmissionCheck, ClusterQueueStopped or InactiveWorkload
kueue_admission_wait_time_secondsHistogramThe time between a workload was created or requeued until admission.cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
kueue_admission_checks_wait_time_secondsHistogramThe time from when a workload got the quota reservation until admission.cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
kueue_admitted_active_workloadsGaugeThe number of admitted Workloads that are active (unsuspended and not finished)cluster_queue: the name of the ClusterQueue
kueue_cluster_queue_statusGaugeReports the status of the ClusterQueuecluster_queue: The name of the ClusterQueue
status: Possible values are pending, active or terminated. For a ClusterQueue, the metric only reports a value of 1 for one of the statuses.

Optional metrics

The following metrics are available only if metrics.enableClusterQueueResources is enabled in the manager’s configuration.
