The Prometheus metrics exposed by the Che server now include the +`che_workspace_status` and `che_workspace_failure_total` metrics, allowing users to track the count +of workspaces per status (`STARTING`, `RUNNING` `STOPPING` or `STOPPED`), and the total number of +failed workspaces. Server operators can see when workspaces are failing by using a `while` tag, +which recognizes `STARTING`, `RUNNING` or `STOPPING` values respectively. These new metrics enable +operators to proactively identify when there are issues with workspaces. -The Prometheus metrics exposed by the Che server now include the `che_workspace_failure_total` -metric which reports the count of workspaces that failed while in different statuses.
