| BYOC and Dedicated clusters can now export a cluster health summary as Prometheus metrics on the public metrics endpoint, so you can alert on overall cluster health, such as brokers down, leaderless partitions, or a missing controller, directly from your metrics system. The metrics are prefixed with `redpanda_cluster_health_` and are disabled by default: enable them with the `health_monitor_metrics_enabled` cluster property. See xref:manage:monitor-cloud.adoc#cluster-health[Monitor Redpanda Cloud]. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Describe the twelve health metrics explicitly or link to their exact reference.
The entry names the prefix and three example health conditions, but does not identify the 12 redpanda_cluster_health_* metrics required by the PR objective. Add the metric names here, or ensure the linked section clearly enumerates all 12.

Summary
July 2026 What's New entry for DOC-2308: metrics-based cluster health monitoring on BYOC/Dedicated.
Companion to redpanda-data/docs#1855, which un-gates the single-sourced content (the Cluster health section in
monitor-health.adocand the 12redpanda_cluster_health_*entries in the metrics reference) for Cloud builds. Merge #1855 first — this entry deep-linksmanage:monitor-cloud.adoc#cluster-health, an anchor that reaches cloud-docs through the single-source include.The entry sits after the AWS-regions entry so its hunk doesn't conflict with #654 or #655, which edit other parts of the July section.
health_monitor_metrics_enabledis customer-settable in the Cloud Console (see the follow-up flagged on #1855) — if it turns out to be support-only, the entry's "enable them with the cluster property" wording needs adjusting.🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Note: the entry's link to
monitor-cloud.adoc#cluster-healthresolves to the page top in this preview — the anchor arrives via the single-source include only after docs#1855 merges.
