Consensus Lag from Pending Operations
warningReplicationUpdated Feb 23, 2026
Cluster consensus operations (cluster_pending_operations_total) accumulate without completion, indicating network partitions or peer failures degrading cluster coordination.
Technologies:
How to detect:
Monitor cluster_pending_operations_total growth without corresponding cluster_commit increases. Validate cluster_peers_total matches expected count and cluster_voter status is consistent.
Recommended action:
Check network connectivity between cluster peers via container_network metrics. Review kube_pod_status_ready for peer availability. Consider restarting lagging peers or triggering snapshot recovery if lag persists.
