+
+These metrics record the status of the database [connection pools](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/ConnectionAdapters/ConnectionPool.html).

+They all have these labels:
+
+1. `class` - the Ruby class being recorded.
+    1. `ActiveRecord::Base` is the main database connection.
+    1. `Geo::TrackingBase` is the connection to the Geo tracking database, if
+       enabled.
+    1. `Gitlab::Database::LoadBalancing::Host` is a connection used by [database
+       load balancing](../../database_load_balancing.md), if enabled.
+1. `host` - the host name used to connect to the database.
+1. `port` - the port used to connect to the database.
