Translog operation count
Dimensions:None
Available on:OpenTelemetryOpenTelemetry (1)

Summary

Counts uncommitted operations in the transaction log (translog) on a node. The translog ensures durability by recording operations before they're flushed to Lucene segments. Growing translog operation counts without corresponding flushes suggest delayed flush operations, which can lead to longer recovery times after crashes and increased disk usage.

Translog Accumulation Riskwarning

Transaction log (translog) accumulates uncommitted operations between flushes. Excessive translog size increases recovery time after node failures and can indicate flush problems or configuration issues.
