Data Migration Monitoring Metrics

If your DM cluster is deployed using TiUP, the monitoring system is also deployed at the same time. This document describes the monitoring metrics provided by DM-worker.

Task

In the Grafana dashboard, the default name of DM is DM-task.

`overview`

Overview contains some monitoring metrics of all the DM-worker and DM-master instances or sources in the currently selected task. The current default alert rule is only for a single DM-worker/DM-master instance/source.
