Coverage for the vLLM v0.23.0 first-party prefix-cache counters and how to compute and interpret the prefix cache hit rate.
Strong for what vllm:prefix_cache_queries and vllm:prefix_cache_hits count (tokens), where they are set from, and how to compute hit rate; none for healthy hit-rate thresholds or workload-specific tuning. Known gaps are tracked explicitly so coverage is not o…
Coverage for a small vLLM v0.23.0 metric slice that exposes scheduler queue state, KV cache usage, and preemption signals.
Strong for whether the selected v0.23.0 metrics exist and what source fields they observe; weak for alert thresholds and workload-specific interpretation. Known gaps are tracked explicitly so coverage is not overstated.
Scenarios
View all scenariosScenarios show concrete operator question shapes and whether the current corpus can answer them. They are a practical way to understand product coverage before drilling into individual claims or metrics.
prometheus_client renames samples at exposition: counters gain _total and histograms emit _bucket/_count/_sum series, so the names operators see in scrapes and PromQL differ from the declared registration names. Before 2026-07-15 the _total form dre…
The vLLM design docs record prefix-cache activity as two token-denominated counters but state the metric of interest is the derived hit rate. The rationale section never names the real metrics (its PromQL example uses placeholder names), so no keywo…
