Kubernetes Cluster Monitoring: Make Your Cluster Visible
Kubernetes is an orchestration platform that enables modern applications to be managed in a scalable, resilient, and automated way on container-based architectures. This platform groups the containers that host applications into a structure called a cluster. A Kubernetes cluster is a system where multiple nodes work together to ensure that applications run continuously without interruption. In such a dynamic and distributed environment, managing without visibility is nearly impossible. Without Kubernetes monitoring, performance degradation, security risks, resource waste, and unexpected outages can occur. At this point, SolarWinds Observability eliminates these risks by allowing you to monitor your Kubernetes environments in real time.
Kubernetes Monitoring in Just Hours with SaaS
The SolarWinds Observability SaaS solution enables you to start monitoring your Kubernetes cluster within just a few hours. Once you deploy the SWO K8s Collector to your cluster, Prometheus-compatible metrics, logs, and events are quickly collected and sent to the Observability SaaS platform.
Instant visibility: Instantly view performance, resource utilization, and error rates across nodes, pods, and the entire cluster.
Proactive troubleshooting: Identify and address issues before they escalate.
Easy management: Installation and updates through a package manager are fast and seamless.
This quick integration immediately strengthens your team’s ability to proactively monitor and resolve issues.
In-Depth Kubernetes Monitoring with Self-Hosted
The SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted option takes Kubernetes monitoring to the next level by integrating it with container monitoring capabilities.
Container-focused monitoring: Kubernetes clusters are monitored just like other containers, providing access to detailed metrics.
Advanced infrastructure integration: The self-hosted model offers centralized management alongside hybrid and on-premises systems.
Control and customization: Provides an environment tailored to your security and configuration needs.
In short, while the SaaS solution offers a quick and easy deployment, the self-hosted model allows you to manage Kubernetes in depth within a comprehensive container monitoring framework.
