-------------------------------------------------------------
For the monitoring method of Prometheus+Grafana, the TiKV panel mainly monitors region, raft, process, and stored information. Among them, the most important ones are:

leader & region: The number of leaders and regions on each TiKV node. This indicator allows us to see if the data distribution on the TiKV node is balanced.

CPU and Memory: The CPU and memory usage of each TiKV node.

Server report failures: This is the error message condition for each TiKV instance. (Selected lectures)

Scheduler pending commands: The number of commands to wait on each TiKV instance. (Selected lectures)

Please note that any monitoring metric must be aware of the timeframe before monitoring, which is the range you are concerned about.
