Complexity in Context: Containerization and Orchestration—Monitoring Kubernetes [Video]
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic's Complexity in Context video series, particularly the second episode, focuses on monitoring Kubernetes environments using New Relic to manage the intricacies of distributed technologies in modern software setups. The episode guides users through deploying and configuring the New Relic Infrastructure agent for Kubernetes, which provides access to crucial metrics such as container CPU and memory usage, and container restarts. After deployment, users can explore operational data through the Kubernetes integration dashboard, offering insights into resources, namespaces, and container statuses. For more detailed analysis, the Kubernetes cluster explorer enables users to observe performance and dependencies, providing advanced filtering options to troubleshoot issues effectively. This integration also facilitates monitoring of applications hosted within Kubernetes by linking infrastructure metrics with application performance metrics, thereby ensuring a comprehensive view of the environment. New Relic's Kubernetes monitoring is available to Infrastructure Pro level customers, with additional resources accessible for further learning and support.
