Kubernetes Cluster Monitoring

Access the cluster monitoring dashboard at https://app.watchlog.io/kubernetes.

Prerequisites

Ensure the monitoring namespace exists:

kubectl create namespace monitoring

Ensure the metrics-server is installed and running:

kubectl get deployment metrics-server -n kube-system

If it's missing, install or enable the metrics-server before proceeding.

Install the Cluster Agent

  1. Copy the Agent manifest from the dashboard at /kubernetes into a file:
    vim watchlog-cluster-agent.yaml
    
  2. Apply the manifest to your cluster:
    kubectl apply -f watchlog-cluster-agent.yaml
    

Within moments, your cluster metrics will stream into Watchlog. Verify the status under Clusters in the dashboard.
