Kubernetes Monitoring

Gain comprehensive insights into the performance of your Kubernetes clusters and resolve issues quickly.

Monitor the health and performance of any Kubernetes environment regardless of the underlying platform - including managed Kubernetes (K8s) services (GKE, AKS, OpenShift, EKS, etc.) as well as self-hosted Kubernetes. Quickly identify performance problems in Kubernetes clusters and reduce mean time to resolution by isolating issues to a specific container image, pod name, or region. Ideal for developers and operations teams who want to quickly keep tabs on their Kubernetes along with the applications running on it.

With Applications Manager's Kubernetes monitoring capabilities, you can:

• Monitor Kubernetes clusters with Applications Manager's Kubernetes application monitoring tool.
• Track Kubernetes nodes and resource consumption.
• Ensure pods are available and running.
• Keep an eye on Kubernetes-hosted applications and services.
• Set up alerts and Kubernetes monitoring dashboards.

Monitor Kubernetes cluster health with Applications Manager's Kubernetes monitoring tool

• Auto-discover Kubernetes clusters and map relationships between objects in the cluster-Kubernetes nodes, namespaces, deployments, replica sets, pods, and containers.
• Monitor K8s cluster stats and identify faults and their sources with ease.
• Gain visibility into operational data such as the number of resources used, namespaces per cluster and per pod.
• Track the capacity and resource utilization of your cluster and drill into specific parts of the cluster.
• Control application deployments and updates with a Kubernetes cluster monitoring tool.

 

Track Kubernetes nodes and resource consumption

• Identify if you have enough nodes in your cluster and resource allocations to existing nodes is sufficient for deployed applications with our Kubernetes container monitoring system.
• Ensure all nodes on the cluster are healthy - monitor the CPU and memory for Kubernetes nodes (workers and masters).
• Make educated decisions when defining the number of instances in a node for each pod, including backup instances.
• Know if your clusters are over- or under-provisioned at any given time with Applications Manager's enterprise Kubernetes monitoring tool.

 

Ensure pods are available and running

• Ensure all desired pods in a deployment are running and not in a restart loop.
• Identify resource limitations or configuration errors due to which pods can go missing.
• Track spikes in resource consumption and know how often requests fail for all containers on a specific node.
• Set up alerts for container restarts to identify issues with containers or their hosts that would affect the performance of their applications.

 

Keep an eye on Kubernetes-hosted applications and services

• Monitor the performance of the Kubernetes-hosted applications running inside your cluster and track down any individual errors.
• Track the number of network requests sent across containers on different nodes within a distributed service, often from locations all around the world.
• Manage services to guarantee your deployed applications are always running optimally.
• Monitor the persistent volume storage and claims to get on top of storage issues.

 

Set up alerts and Kubernetes monitoring dashboards

• Troubleshoot issues on important parts of your cluster quickly.
• Automate corrective actions (such as Slack, SMS or email) and trigger alerts when threshold and anomaly profiles are violated by employing a Kubernetes management tool.
• Generate data-rich dashboards on all important performance attributes.
• Analyze the historical trends, evaluate performance and make informed decisions. Get actionable insights with capacity planning reports, inventory reports and machine-learning driven forecast reports.
