Detailed video of Installation of OpsRamp Agent on Kubernetes 2.0 Cluster
Kubernetes 2.0 offers comprehensive resource discovery and monitoring for components like Nodes, Pods, Namespaces, Services, Persistent Volumes (PVs), Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), Daemonsets, and Deployments. It includes customizable dashboards that provide an overview and in-depth analysis of key metrics for infrastructure monitoring.
The topology explorer visually represents resources and their relationships, simplifying the troubleshooting of network-related issues.
It allows you to define alert conditions based on Prometheus expression language expressions(PromQL) and handles alerting at various levels, including pods, deployment and namespace.
Note
- Please note that Kubernetes 1.0 and Kubernetes 2.0 cannot co-exist. To use Kubernetes 2.0, you must uninstall Kubernetes 1.0 before proceeding with the installation of the new version.
- Kubernetes 2.0 is on par with Kubernetes 1.0, providing equivalent functionality and compatibility.
Key Features
- Kubernetes 2.0 offers unified visibility of resources and metrics.
- Topology Explorer organizes and displays information in a hierarchical structure, making it easier to navigate and understand resource dependencies.
- Pod Log collection
- Workload monitoring for applications.
Supported Components
You can monitor the following Kubernetes components:
- Kube API Server
- KubeDNS / CoreDNS
- Kube Controller Manager
- Kube Scheduler
- ETCD
- Cluster Metrics
- Kubelet Component
- Kubeletstats
- cAdvisor
- Kube Proxy
Kubernetes Vs Kubernetes 2.0
| Kubernetes | Kubernetes 2.0 |
|---|---|
Only the following are discovered and monitored:
| We are discovering and monitoring (collecting metrics) for more Kubernetes objects such:
|
| Metrics are collected via our agent only | We are using open-source OpenTelemetry framework which is an observability framework and toolkit designed to create and manage telemetry data such as metrics. |
| Kubernetes was having limited topology relationship view | Kubernetes 2.0 comes with enhanced topology explorer which provides a visual representation of resources, their relationships, and availability, facilitating effective troubleshooting issues. |
