Summary

Monitoring your database system in a production environment is crucial to prevent or solve outages, and ClickHouse provides an Advanced Dashboard that offers real-time visibility into its performance and health. The dashboard is available by default in both OSS (Open Source Software) and Cloud deployments, allowing users to monitor metrics such as queries per second, selected rows per second, inserted rows per second, and more. Users can customize the dashboard's visualizations using SQL queries, add custom charts, and explore out-of-box visualizations for ClickHouse-specific, system health, and Cloud storage-related metrics. By leveraging the Advanced Dashboard, users can identify issues such as unbatched inserts, resource-intensive queries, and bad primary key designs, enabling them to take proactive measures to improve their deployment's performance and overall reliability.
