Which Kubernetes Health Metrics Should Be Monitored

 By The New Stack - 2020-12-16

Description

In this article, we’re going to share which health metrics are most critical for Kubernetes operators to collect and analyze.

Summary

  • I previously wrote an article on the 12 most common health conditions you should be monitoring to ensure that Kubernetes is performing optimally.
  • In a managed environment like what Google or Amazon provide, the Control Plane is managed by the cloud provider and you typically don’t have to worry about monitoring these metrics.
  • Scheduler Problems There are two aspects of the scheduler that are worth watching.
  • Application Metrics Unlike the rest of the metrics and events we’ve examined above, application metrics aren’t emitted from Kubernetes itself, but rather from your workloads that are run by the cluster.
