Capacity alerts warn you when your cluster is under high load.

Set up capacity alerts

Capacity alerts are available with the dedicated infrastructure add-on.

To set up capacity alerts:

  1. On the left sidebar, select Settings Settings.
  2. Open the Infrastructure page and go to the Alerts tab.

What gets reported

Capacity alerts include metrics related to the load and status of your cluster.

Memory usage

If the combined size of all indices reaches the server’s limits, the service might get disrupted.

Used search capacity spikes

An alert for the maximum search capacity usage for a time period. For example, if there was a moment where all the search capacity of a server was used, you might see 100%. This doesn’t mean that the cluster was consistently using 100% the entire time.

Average response time

This is the average time for Algolia to process a query. You can fix slow queries by optimizing query parameters or the index’s configuration.

Oldest queued job

This is the delayed indexing queue on your servers. It usually happens when Algolia receives a large volume of complex indexing operations.
