Kubernetes Monitoring
Kubernetes monitoring tracks API reachability and workload health signals — pod restarts, failed nodes, degraded deployments — through agent-side checks that stay inside the cluster.
Cluster state that matters without a full observability stack
What it checks
- API server reachability
- Node and pod failure signals
- Deployment and workload degradation events
Set it up
- 1Deploy the agent inside or adjacent to the cluster
- 2Enable the Kubernetes check type
- 3Wire events into your escalation chain
FAQ
Does this replace Prometheus?
No — it is the availability layer, not the metrics platform. It answers 'is the cluster serving and are workloads alive' without operating a metrics stack.
