Monitoring Kubernetes doesn’t have to be complicated. In this talk, I’ll introduce a new module we’re developing for Icinga, currently in beta, that simplifies Kubernetes monitoring in the same way Icinga has for traditional infrastructure. We’ll explore how this module makes it easier to monitor your clusters’ health and performance, allowing you to identify issues early. Whether you’re new to Kubernetes or managing large-scale clusters, this session will provide a preview of what’s to come and how it can streamline your monitoring processes. Feedback and insights are welcome as we refine the tool.
Kubernetes offers powerful orchestration capabilities, but monitoring its dynamic environment can be tricky. In this session, we’ll dive into the development of a new module for Icinga that simplifies Kubernetes monitoring, making it more accessible for users who are familiar with traditional IT infrastructure setups. While the module is still in the beta phase, I’ll walk through its current features, show how it integrates with your existing Icinga setup, and discuss future enhancements. We’ll look at practical examples of monitoring critical aspects like node health, pod status, and resource utilization, all through Icinga’s familiar interface.
