At the end of November, we’ll be migrating the Sematext Logs backend from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch

Introducing Kubernetes workloads

November 1, 2023

We are happy to introduce Kubernetes Workloads, a new addition to our recently announced Kubernetes Monitoring integration that will make managing your Kubernetes deployments easier and increase the visibility and control of your applications.

A new workload group of reports can be found under Kubernetes featuring individual dashboards for Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Replicas, CronJobs, and Jobs. These dashboards provide a clear view of each workload’s performance and resource usage.

In the Pods dashboard, you can get an overview of the health status of your Pods and specific details, including metrics, events, and logs for each Pod in the Pods Overview table.

Next, in the Deployments dashboard, you can access all the deployment information, including desired and missing replicas, along with details for each deployment that includes all the relevant logs and events.

Then, we have the StatefulSets dashboard for monitoring the status of each replica managed by the StatefulSet and tracking individual Pod metrics, events and logs.

Moving on, the Daemonsets dashboard allows you to monitor the status and readiness of nodes where DaemonSet Pods are scheduled.

You can find more detailed information about the replicas in the dedicated Replicas Dashboard.

Next, the CronJobs and Jobs dashboards enable the tracking of scheduled tasks. You can monitor the status and the execution of each CronJob and Job to ensure that all the tasks are triggered according to their specified schedule. For both CronJobs and Jobs, you can get detailed information from their respective Overview tables, including details about the Pods that are running them, along with specific logs and events for them.

For more information, please refer to Kubernetes Monitoring Integration, and don’t forget to update to the latest version of Sematext Agent.
