Spot backlogs before work stalls
Distinguish a healthy burst from work that is accumulating faster than workers clear it.
See whether accepted work is clearing, aging, or accumulating.
What this changes for your team.
Fleet queue metrics show how much work is waiting, how long the oldest item has waited, and whether processing is draining the backlog. These signals make capacity pressure visible without requiring operators to infer it from individual sessions.
How it works in practice.
- 01
Read current queue depth to quantify outstanding accepted work.
- 02
Check oldest queue age to find whether any item has waited unusually long.
- 03
Use drain state to see whether throughput is reducing or growing the backlog.
What you can plan around.
The behaviour you can design against, stated concretely.
Queue metrics are read from worker queue state and correlated with persisted execution ownership.
Oldest age uses the earliest waiting item's accepted or enqueued timestamp.
A healthy queue metric does not promise an individual external provider will respond successfully.
