Metrics
Every environment comes pre-installed with open source Prometheus and Grafana. Grafana will be running on its own URL for each environment and must be used to see all metrics collected from your environment.
Grafana is simple to use yet very powerful in how you can customize the setup for yourself.
Recording metrics
CPU, memory, disk and network metrics from each node running your app, inside kubernetes, is recorded by prometheus and sent to Grafana for your visibility.
See metrics
Grafana installation of the specific environment can be opened from Monitoring tab of Environment page.
Inside Grafana, you can group and see CPU/Memory/Disk/Network metrics by:
- node
- pod
- deployment
- service
- namespace
In-built dashboards
Grafana installation in each environment comes with a lot of pre-built dashboards to see infrastructure/system metrics. You can star the frequently visited ones for convenience.
Custom dashboards
You can create new dashboards within the specific Grafana installation to see metrics from different nodes in your application as needed.
