In a Kubernetes environment, applications operate across multiple nodes within a cluster, and application services can be distributed across multiple clusters and multiple clouds, making tracking the health of an application and the infrastructure it depends on quite challenging.
Kubernetes monitoring is the process of gathering metrics from the Kubernetes clusters you operate to identify critical events and ensure that all hardware, software, and applications are operating as expected. Aggregating metrics in a central location will help you understand and protect the health of your entire Kubernetes fleet and the applications and services running on it.
