Metrics related to backup and restore functionality

Backup and restore operations export several metrics using the expvars interface. These are available at the /debug/vars endpoint of Vtbackup's and VTTablet's http status pages. More details can be found here.

Backup metrics #

backup_duration_seconds #

backup_duration_seconds times the duration of a backup.

Restore metrics #

RestoredBackupTime, RestorePosition #

RestoredBackupTime captures the timestamp associated with the backup from which the current process was restored. RestorePosition captures the GTID position associated with that backup.

restore_duration_seconds #

restore_duration_seconds times the duration of a restore.
