factclaim.vllm.metric.request_queue_time_seconds.v0230.queue_interval_semantics

In vLLM v0.23.0, queued_time is computed as req_stats.scheduled_ts - req_stats.queued_ts; the source comment describes the queued interval as from first QUEUED event to first SCHEDULED.

use casescenario.vllm.issue-8115-ttft-population

Schema proves different update events; a particular delta needs deployment observations.

vLLM v0.23.0
Limitations
  • Counts by finish reason process and restart window
  • Lifecycle test including abort error streaming and fan-out

Exact supporting evidence is not available for this result yet.

use casescenario.vllm.issue-9346-valid-error-denominator

Lifecycle semantics rule out proposed denominators; complete SLI needs external API-layer telemetry.

vLLM v0.23.0
Limitations
  • API or ingress request counter by stable outcome
  • Retry disconnect validation and engine-failure accounting

Exact supporting evidence is not available for this result yet.

Coverage gaps

A gap means Schema does not yet hold enough knowledge here; it is not evidence that the thing is absent.

  • Availability records now inventory the complete fixed-name v0.23.0 PrometheusStatLogger metric surface, but semantic claims cover only the selected scheduler/KV pressure metrics. — Schema.ai can answer whether a fixed-name metric exists at v0.23.0 from the complete inventory, but interpretation claims remain limited to the seed slice.
  • KV connector per-connector Prometheus metrics and vllm.stat_loggers plugin metrics are open extension points that register dynamic metric names not covered by the fixed-name inventory. — Absence answers must be scoped to first-party fixed-name registrations; a deployment with connector or plugin metrics can expose additional names.
  • The corpus does not include alert thresholds, benchmark baselines, or workload-specific healthy ranges for these metrics. — Schema.ai can identify and explain the metrics but should not yet recommend numeric alert thresholds.
