Milvus Plugin

The Milvus plugin registers vector database operations as a Konduo resource. It exposes Milvus-specific signals such as search latency, query queues, insert/write path behavior, collection load, compaction/index/import backlog, and node memory.

Highlights

  • Validates endpoint connectivity and TLS/auth settings with bounded health checks.
  • Reads Milvus logical metrics through a linked Prometheus metric source.
  • Focuses dashboards on search serving, collection load, write delay, background backlog, and capacity risk.
  • Groups diagnostics around serving degradation, write path delay, background backlog, and capacity risk.

Before Registration

  • Prepare Milvus endpoint, database, username/password or token, and TLS settings.
  • Confirm that metric label filters select only the target Milvus deployment.
  • Metric names and labels can vary by deployment; review panel coverage after applying the mapping pack.

Operations Tips

  • Read search latency and query queues together with collection load, segment state, and query node memory.
  • For write path delay, check insert rate, flush latency, time tick lag, and compaction backlog together.
  • Arbitrary collection mutation and data operations are outside the current CE operating boundary.

Milvus Enterprise Overlay

The Milvus Enterprise overlay adds MCP descriptors, advanced diagnostics, metric mapping, and anomaly rules to Milvus resources. It explains vector database health through read-oriented evidence for collections, indexes, query nodes, and data nodes.

Highlights

  • Provides resource metadata, monitoring overview, topology, diagnostics, metric mapping, and alert/anomaly rules through MCP.
  • Diagnostics summarize collection, index, query node, and metric coverage evidence for operators.
  • Anomaly rules resolve Milvus logical metrics through metric sources in declarative metric mode.
  • Default behavior is read-only diagnostics; state-changing workflows need separate action routes and authorization boundaries.

Before Registration

  • Community Milvus connectivity and authentication must be healthy.
  • Connect a Prometheus metric source and Milvus mapping pack.
  • MCP users need resource read permission and the required scopes.

Operations Tips

  • Interpret search latency, index state, and query node pressure together with collection size and workload changes.
  • If diagnostics lack evidence, check metric endpoint exposure and mapping pack application first.
