Load Balancer Metrics
Load Balancer Metrics provide comprehensive insights into the throughput of your load balancers. These metrics help you monitor traffic patterns, analyze connection behavior, and understand data flow through your load balancers. The following key metrics are collected in 30-second intervals for a period of 30 days for each load balancer.
| Metrics | Definition | Suggested Query |
|---|---|---|
| Outbound Packets | The number of packets transmitted by the load balancer. | rate(crusoe_elb_out_packets[5m]) |
| Inbound Packets | The number of packets received by the load balancer. | rate(crusoe_elb_in_packets[5m]) |
| Bytes Out | The total bytes transmitted by the load balancer. | rate(crusoe_elb_bytes_out[5m]) |
| Bytes In | The total bytes received by the load balancer. | rate(crusoe_elb_bytes_in[5m]) |
| Active Flows | The number of currently active connections through the load balancer. | crusoe_elb_active_flows |
| New Flows | The number of new connections established through the load balancer. | rate(crusoe_elb_new_flows[5m]) |
Load Balancer Metrics are available by default for all load balancers. They're accessible via the Console, a PromQL API, Telemetry Conduit, and Crusoe MCP.
Console: Navigate to Networking > Load Balancers in the left navigation, select the load balancer you want to inspect, then select the Metrics tab.
PromQL API: By default, queries return metrics for all load balancers within a project. To query metrics for a specific load balancer, add a label selector to your query:
crusoe_elb_active_flows{elb_name="my-load-balancer"}
For token generation and instructions on querying via API, Grafana, or Telemetry Conduit, see Get started.
