Health Overview
The overview tab is a live snapshot of your Tindra instance: database size, data volumes, retention, and quota usage. Check it before disk fills up, not after.
Access it at Settings > Overview.
Viewing the overview requires the
manage_projectspermission.
Database size
The chip in the header is the total Postgres size. Use it to track growth and size your disk.
Profiles count toward the database size but do not have a row of their own in the table below. If the database is growing faster than errors, traces, and logs explain, profiling is the usual reason. Check
PROFILE_STORAGE_LIMIT_MBin Profiling.
Retention days sit next to it. 0 shows as Forever.
Data volumes
Three rows: Errors, Traces, and Logs.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Total | Records currently stored |
| Last 24h | Records received in the last 24 hours |
| Oldest | Age of the oldest stored record |
| Storage | Disk used by that data type |
There is no separate "expires in" column. Retention is the chip in the header. Oldest tells you how far back the data actually goes.
If Oldest is always a few hours, either ingest is huge or RETENTION_DAYS is lower than you think.
Quota gauges
If your instance has limits configured (PROJECT_LIMIT, EVENT_LIMIT, USER_LIMIT), the Usage section shows current usage against each limit.
| Gauge | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Events / month | Events in the current billing period vs. event cap |
| Projects | Active projects vs. project limit |
| Users | Active users vs. user limit |
The event gauge turns orange at 80% usage and red at 95%. For managed instances, this is the plan's event cap. For self-hosted instances, limits are optional and only shown if configured.
Log and transaction row caps (LOG_ROW_LIMIT, TX_ROW_LIMIT) are not drawn as gauges. They delete oldest rows when the cap is hit. See Configuration.
Self-hosting guidance
For a healthy self-hosted instance, watch for:
- Database growth outpacing disk: Last 24h tells you how fast you are filling up
- Retention set too short: if Oldest is always very recent, data is being purged before you would review it
- Retention set too long: if database size is growing faster than expected, reduce
RETENTION_DAYS
See Configuration for the relevant environment variables.
