Fixes and optimization for inaccuracies in the metrics of exclusive clusters | 1. The previous calculation method for monitoring metrics was incorrect, resulting in relatively high aggregated values on an hourly or above basis for data metrics, such as cluster-level and group-level consumption rates and message backlogs. This issue had been resolved. 2. Due to the modification of the metric calculation method, historical metrics may not be displayed or may show data gaps when users viewed metrics in the console or Cloud Monitor charts after the new calculation method was released. When historical metrics (November 2 to November XX) were obtained for exclusive clusters by using cloud APIs, null values may occur. We appreciated your understanding. | 2022-11-16 | - |
