Migration job metrics

Overview

The following table lists and describes migration job metrics for Database Migration Service.

Migration metric Description
Replication delay

For MySQL and SQL Server databases, this metric represents how much time the destination database is behind the source database.

For PostgreSQL databases, the metric represents how many bytes the destination database is behind the source database.

Use this metric when considering performing a promotion of a continuous migration. Replication delay should be zero at the time of the promotion in order to avoid data loss. Note this metric is only relevant in the CDC phase.

Storage usage Reflects how many GB are currently being used by the destination Cloud SQL instance. Use this metric to get a rough indication of migration job progress.
