We would like to get metrics on how many index failures we are getting. The only thing that seems close looking at the `/system/metrics` api route is the `org.graylog2.periodical.IndexFailuresPeriodical.queueSize.count` metric. However the data that I see in there does not seem to match with what I see on the `/system/indices/failures` page that shows a list of index failures? Is there a metric that can be used to have a count of every index failure that occurs? ---

If you want to to check number of unprocessed messages in node check REST API ( `api/cluster/NODE_ID/journal` ) which can return value: ```auto "uncommitted_journal_entries":, ``` ---
