Summary

Shows the number of documents currently being processed by ingest pipelines. This gauge metric indicates pipeline concurrency and can reveal bottlenecks. Sustained high values suggest slow processors (like ML inference per the insight) or insufficient ingest pipeline capacity. Zero values during active indexing indicate pipeline failures or routing issues.
