Cluster View

The Cluster View consolidates metrics from all services running in your cluster and infrastructure services, allowing you to monitor the overall health of your cluster and detect issues.

Cluster View Use-Cases

Use the cluster view to:

1. Monitor Overall Cluster Health:

   • Use the Global Metrics Overview to track key trends, such as spikes in failed requests or increases in latency.

2. Analyze Service Performance:

   • Sort the Service List table by metrics like Error % or Latency to identify problematic services.

   • Click on a service to access additional insights or related traces and logs.

3. Inspect Infrastructure:

   • Review the Infrastructure Details panel to monitor resource usage across nodes.

   • Drill down into individual nodes or pods to diagnose resource bottlenecks or issues.

Key Components

Global Metrics Overview

• Requests/Second: Tracks the average number of requests being processed per second in your cluster, allowing you to monitor workload intensity.

• % of Failed Requests: Displays the percentage of failed and rejected requests, helping you identify potential reliability issues.

• Baseline Comparison: The dotted line represents the 7-day mean, providing a historical reference for understanding performance trends.

Service List

• A table displaying all services and system components in your cluster. Key metrics include:

  • Req/s: The number of requests handled per second by each service.

  • Latency: The average response time (in milliseconds) for each service.

  • Error %: The percentage of failed requests for each service.

  • Rejected %: The percentage of requests actively rejected.

  • Issues: The number of detected issues associated with the service.

Infrastructure Details

• Provides real-time insights into node-level metrics for your cluster, including:

  • Nodes: Number of active nodes in the cluster.

  • Pods: Number of pods running on each node.

  • CPU and Memory Usage: Resource utilization for each node, helping you identify potential bottlenecks or overutilized nodes.

Drill Down into Node and Pod Details

Node Details: Clicking on a node in the Infrastructure Details panel opens a detailed view of its metrics, including CPU and memory usage over time, and a list of pods running on the node.

Pod Details: Clicking on a specific pod from the Node Details view provides granular insights, including:

• Pod Metadata: Name, namespace, IP address, and creation timestamp.

• Conditions: Current status of the pod (e.g., initialized, ready, scheduled).

• Containers: A breakdown of all containers running within the pod, including their statuses and resource usage.
