One of the key challenges for Kubernetes Day 2 operations is observability, i.e. having a holistic view of your system’s health. This is where BotKube helps to improve your monitoring experience of your Kubernetes clusters by sending notifications to supported messaging platforms. BotKube helps you solve several interesting use cases, for example, monitoring Velero backup failure or certificate issue/expiry status by cert-manager, etc. In this blog, we will configure BotKube to monitor your Velero backups and restores.
