  • Granular insights into the diverse components of Kubernetes such as nodes, pods, services, persistent volumes, etc.
  • Uninterrupted uptime, efficient resource utilization, improved cost management, and optimal performance.
  • Early detection of potential problems facilitated by the implementation of alert systems and in-depth data analysis guarantees minimized downtime and mitigated damage from unforeseen issues.
  • Enhanced user experience and a competitive edge in the digital landscape.

Centralize all your Kubernetes workloads using a single monitor

Applications Manager provides you the ability to monitor K8s workloads from the same console, regardless of the cloud provider and whether the service is managed.

 
 

Achieve comprehensive oversight of your Kubernetes ecosystem with Applications Manager

Gaining comprehensive oversight of your Kubernetes ecosystem is fundamental for maintaining a healthy, efficient, and reliable containerized environment. It's like having a detailed map and compass to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of your cluster.

Kubernetes Monitor - ManageEngine Applications Manager

While monitoring individual pods and nodes is essential, Kubernetes thrives on its interconnectedness which builds a symphony of vital modules, each playing its part in the overall health and performance of the system. Comprehensive Kubernetes container monitoring necessitates in-depth scrutiny of both the overarching ecosystem and its constituent modules. Applications Manager enables you to monitor Kubernetes performance extensively and delivers targeted monitoring capabilities for each module, facilitating a holistic sweep of your containerized environment.

Applications Manager's Kubernetes monitor enables you to,

Gain extensive cluster-level insights

To ensure the operational excellence of your Kubernetes cluster, it's imperative to establish a proactive monitoring regimen at the control plane level. This involves meticulously tracking key metrics that illuminate the cluster's overall health and performance, empowering you to identify and address potential issues before they impact your applications and users.

Kubernetes Monitor Tool - ManageEngine Applications Manager

Applications Manager's Kubernetes performance monitor tool automatically discovers and enables you to monitor Kubernetes clusters in your environment and also allows for manual addition. It provides a centralized dashboard with key metrics for easy reading and comprehension.

Here are some of the key cluster metrics that you can monitor with our Kubernetes monitor:

  • Cluster Uptime: Overall availability of your Kubernetes cluster.
  • Namespace Details : Monitor the availability of namespaces
  • Cluster CPU Usage
  • Cluster Memory Usage
  • Component health(controller, scheduler, and etcd)

Analyze and rightsize Kubernetes nodes

Nodes serve as the fundamental worker machines within a Kubernetes cluster, hosting containerized workloads (pods). Each node contributes CPU, memory, storage, and network resources to the cluster, enabling pods to function. Delve deeper into Kubernetes performance by scrutinizing individual nodes for resource utilization. Metrics like CPU and memory usage, disk I/O, and network traffic paint a vivid picture of node performance, allowing proactive identification of overloaded nodes or impending resource exhaustion. Maintaining node health ensures smooth operation and prevents service disruptions.

Best Kubernetes Monitor - ManageEngine Applications Manager

Here are some of the key node metrics that you can monitor with our Kubernetes monitor:

  • CPU and memory usage: Track resource utilization on individual nodes. Become aware of CPU throttling that can slow application execution.
  • Node pod details: Monitor storage performance and capacity of nodes with respect to pods.
  • Node configuration data: Details on the architecture, kubelet and ephemeral of each node.
  • Node status: Watch for unhealthy nodes that may require intervention.

Investigate pods for abnormal performance

Pods, the microservice workhorses, deserve dedicated attention. Studying pods can help you catch small abnormalities before they snowball into major disruptions, and also identify areas for improvement. Monitoring pod restarts and failures pinpoints areas of instability, while resource requests and limits foster optimal allocation and prevent resource conflicts. Granular insights into container-level CPU and memory usage can help further optimize resource utilization and application performance.

Here are some of the key pod metrics that you can monitor with our Kubernetes monitor:

  • Pod container restarts and failures: Detect crashes and instability at the pod level.
  • Pod memory and CPU details: Prevent errors such as CrashLoopBackOff by proactively becoming aware of insufficient memory or CPU.
  • Resource requests and limits: Ensure optimal resource allocation and prevent conflicts.
  • Container CPU and memory usage: Gain insights into individual container resource utilization.
  • Container details: Real-time visibility into the health and status of individual containers.

Assess service and deployment details

Monitoring services and deployments is crucial for ensuring the health, performance, and reliability of your Kubernetes-based applications.

Kubernetes Monitor Software - ManageEngine Applications Manager

Applications Manager's Kubernetes monitor equips you with the following information:

  • Service and Deployment Namespace
  • Service type
  • Service protocol
  • Service Target port
  • Replica count

Track persistent volume stats

Persistent Volumes ensure your application's data survives pod restarts, node failures, and even cluster upgrades, unlike the ephemeral storage that disappears with the pod. By tracking PV and PVC resources, you can identify bottlenecks and optimize allocation. By monitoring PV access modes, you can ensure the absence of mismatched access modes as it can prevent pods from accessing the data.

Kubernetes Monitor Solution - ManageEngine Applications Manager

Applications Manager's Kubernetes monitor equips you with the following information:

  • PV & PVC Status
  • PV & PVC storage class
  • PV access mode
  • PV capacity
  • PVC requests

Get insights into applications/workloads running on Kubernetes

By leveraging the application performance monitoring capabilities in Applications Manager, you can monitor the performance of the applications deployed on Kubernetes and investigate anomalies without additional development effort. Dive deep into application level metrics, business transactions generating multiple service requests, JVM metrics, and more in dev, QA, or production environments. Make use of distributed tracing and AI-powered anomaly detection to isolate errors in microservices-based or other distributed applications deployed on Kubernetes.

Monitor your service mesh architecture

If your organization has implemented a service mesh technology, such as Istio, to manage production Kubernetes clusters and the applications that run within them, you need to keep an eye on the performance of the service mesh architecture also. Applications Manager's Istio monitoring capabilities enables you to track essential Istio metrics, including service health, traffic flow, resource utilization, and more, providing a holistic view of your service mesh's health and performance. Gain unparalleled insights into the inner workings of your service mesh to execute informed decision-making and proactive optimization.

Triage Kubernetes problems effectively

Our real-time dashboards, customizable alerts, and powerful root cause analysis tools equip you to proactively address issues before they impact users. By empowering you with intelligent insights, proactive management, and automated actions, it sets your containerized ecosystem on course for optimal functioning.

Ideal for platform engineering, SRE and development teams

Instill a collaborative performance culture across development, platform engineering, and SRE teams. Through unified data and collaborative workflows, optimize code, identify bottlenecks, and deliver exceptional user experiences.

With Applications Manager's Kubernetes monitor, fueled by data-driven insights, you can diligently monitor these crucial modules and components and establish a proactive and comprehensive approach to Kubernetes management. It helps you identify resource bottlenecks and under-utilization, enabling strategic allocation and cost-effective utilization. Ensure cluster resilience by monitoring node failures, pod disruptions, and network hiccups. Find impending issues before they manifest and take proactive measures to avoid downtime and maintain uninterrupted operations.
