mq_testing_slots_active— number of active CI slots currently in use. A batch counts as one slot, so this maps directly to CI concurrency.mq_prs_testing— number of PRs currently in theTESTINGstate. With batching enabled, this can exceedmq_testing_slots_activebecause several PRs share a slot.
mq_testing_slots_active for CI utilization alerts against your configured concurrency, and mq_prs_testing when you want to see how many PRs are being validated at once.
Both metrics carry the standard repo, branch, and queue_type labels and are available at GET /v1/getMergeQueueMetrics alongside the existing point-in-time gauges and 1-hour window metrics.
