Tracking Disaster Recovery Metrics

The Native Disaster Recovery (DR) service provides metric data in a different way compared to other microservices. No DR metrics are exposed through Grafana by default, but they appear after the service setup is complete. A prebuilt dashboard is not provided. If you prefer to display DR metrics in a dashboard you can build one that suits your requirements. For more information, see Using Grafana.

The DR metrics are available from the Grafana Explore module. Using the Prometheus data source, you open the Metrics drop-down and select "dr" to display the list.

DR Metric	Available after...	Description
dr_replication	Native DR service setup	indicates that the DR service is enabled (value=1) and displays target details
dr_job_retention_hours	Native DR service setup	indicates how long DR jobs are stored
dr_max_config	Native DR service setup	indicates the maximum number of DR configurations
dr_peering_status	Native DR service setup	indicates that a peer connection with another appliance is enabled (value=1)
dr_replication_sync_status	Native DR service setup	indicates whether data sync between peered systems is successful (value=0) or not (value=1)
dr_configcount	creating DR configurations	indicates the total number of DR configurations present
dr_instances	creating DR configurations	indicates how many instances are included in each DR configuration
dr_operation_success_count	running DR plan operations	indicates the total number of successful DR operations per DR plan
dr_operation_fail_count	running DR plan operations	indicates the total number of failed DR operations per DR plan

Note:

For existing DR configurations, metrics are not generated immediately after the appliance software upgrade that enables the functionality. They appear when a DR operation has been run, or when a new DR configuration is added. This also applies to a DR setup that was migrated to the Native DR service.
