Monitoring Kubernetes Workloads

Kubernetes workload is a group of Kubernetes resources. It includes the following Kubernetes resources types: deployment, daemon set, stateful set, replica set, replication controller, cron job, job, and pod. The Kubernetes Workloads Quick View, which appears after clicking Monitoring > Workloads, shows the data collected about the selected clusters and namespaces. This view consists of the following two panes:

•
The Kubernetes Workloads tree view, which appears on the left of Kubernetes Workloads Quick View, lists the workloads existing in the monitored Kubernetes environment. The menu level differs from different workload types, following are some examples of the menu levels:
•
Cluster -> Namespace -> Deployment -> Replica Set -> Pod
•
Cluster -> Namespace -> Cron Job -> Job -> Pod
•
Cluster -> Namespace -> Daemon Set -> Job -> Pod
•
Cluster -> Namespace -> Stateful Set -> Pod
•
The Kubernetes Pods Summary view, which appears on the right after you select an individual pod in the Kubernetes Workloads tree view.

Kubernetes Workloads Summary view

The Kubernetes Workloads Summary view appears on the right when you select a workload in the Kubernetes Workloads tree view.

Figure 11. Kubernetes Workloads Summary view

The Kubernetes Workloads Summary view displays the following data:

* 
NOTE: If the selected workload type is a Pod, the metrics values are from the Pod. If the selected workload type is other than a Pod, then the metrics values are the aggregated values from all the related pods of the current workload (e.g. Deployment, Daemon Set, and so on).
•
Resource Utilizations: The resource utilization for the selected Kubernetes Workloads over a selected period of time, which includes the following:
•
CPU Utilization: The CPU utilization is calculated as the percentage of CPU usage rate and limit, and it will be unset or blank if the CPU limit is not configured.
CPU Usage: A comparison of per-second usage, request, and limit.
•
Memory Utilization: The Memory utilization is calculated as the percentage of memory usage and limit, and it will be unset or blank if the memory limit is not configured.
Memory Usage: A comparison of usage, request, and limit.
•
Total Network I/O (Bytes Rate): transferring, sending, and receiving rate in bytes.
•
Filesystem Utilization: temporary filesystem utilization.
Filesystem Usage: temporary filesystem reading or writing rate in bytes.
•
Summary: Displays the detailed information about the selected Kubernetes workload. The listed information might vary from different types of workload.
•
Alarms: Displays the alarms aggregated from the pod and the current workload related to the pod.

Click Explore on the upper right of the Kubernetes Workloads Summary view to open the Workloads Explorer view, which shows more detailed information about this Kubernetes workload.

Workloads Explorer view

The Workloads Explorer view opens when you click Explore in the Kubernetes Workloads Summary view, which includes the following tabs:

•
Metrics tab: The Metrics tab displays a Metric Selector allowing you to choose the metrics to be plotted on this dashboard. Charts of Utilization, CPU Usage and Quota, Memory Usage and Quota, Total Network I/O, Total Filesystem Usage, and Filesystem Utilization by Device are presented by default.
* 
NOTE: If the current workload is a Pod, then the metrics values are from the Pod. Otherwise, the metrics values come from aggregated values of the related pods of this workload (e.g. Deployment, Daemon Set).

•
Configuration tab: The Configuration tab displays the overall information of the selected Kubernetes Workload over a selected period of time. It includes the following tables:
•
Summary: Summary information of this workload.
•
Pod Configuration: Pod related configuration. If the current workload is a pod, it displays the configuration of the pod. Otherwise, it displays the pod template information of the current workload to create related pods.
•
Container Configuration: Including containers configurations and Init-containers configurations. If the current workload is a pod, it displays the configuration of the pod containers. Otherwise, it displays the container template of the pod containers created by this workload.

Monitoring Kubernetes Pods

A pod contains one or multiple containers, such as Docker containers, which contains storage/network and the specification about how to run the containers. The Kubernetes Pods Quick View, which appears after clicking Monitoring > Pods, shows the data collected about the selected clusters and namespaces. This view consists of the following two panes:

•
The Kubernetes Pods tree view, which appears on the left of Kubernetes Pods Quick View, lists the pods existing in the monitored Kubernetes environment.
•
