Deduplication and renaming of metric cache_size

We were double registering the existing metric cache_size. In Grafana v12 we’re deprecating the metric, with plans to remove it in Grafana v13, and splitting it into 2 different metrics:

  • resource_cache_size
  • query_cache_size

While available metrics are not officially documented, you may still use them to get information on the state of your instance.

Migration/mitigation

You’ll continue getting data by using the cache_size metric, but we recommend you update your dashboards to use the resource_cache_size and query_cache_size metrics instead.
