In vLLM v0.23.0, vllm:request_queue_time_seconds observes one finished-request duration from queued_ts to the first scheduled_ts. | Measurement semantics | 11 hr ago |
In vLLM v0.23.0, vllm:request_queue_time_seconds is emitted on completion from scheduler lifecycle timestamps; repeated QUEUED events overwrite queued_ts while first SCHEDULED is retained. | Causal/runtime semantics | 11 hr ago |
In vLLM v0.23.0, vllm:request_queue_time_seconds measures the recorded waiting interval and includes only requests reaching finished-request accounting. | Interpretation & composition | 11 hr ago |
In vLLM v0.23.0, vllm:request_queue_time_seconds use quantiles with running/KV/token-progress metrics to distinguish admission delay from decode delay; no universal threshold is established. | Guarded guidance | 11 hr ago |
In vLLM v0.23.0, vllm:request_queue_time_seconds is registered as a Prometheus histogram. | Structural identity | 11 hr ago |
In vLLM v0.23.0, vllm:request_queue_time_seconds is registered with the label names model_name, engine. | Structural identity | 11 hr ago |
In vLLM v0.23.0, vllm:request_queue_time_seconds declares 21 literal histogram bucket boundaries in its registration, from 0.3 to 7680.0. | Structural identity | 11 hr ago |
For each EngineCoreEventType.QUEUED event processed by IterationStats.update_from_events, req_stats.queued_ts is set to event.timestamp. | Interpretation & composition | 11 hr ago |
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. | Interpretation & composition | 11 hr ago |
Availability
vllm:request_queue_time_seconds is registered as a Prometheus histogram in vLLM v0.23.0.
