Hello,

 

I would ask you a question, what kind of metrics can I monitor in IFS Cloud through Prometheus/Grafana?

 

Thanks

Hi ​@Ed22,

These are the core metrics automatically collected via Prometheus and visualized in Grafana dashboards.

1. Infrastructure Metrics

  • CPU, memory, disk, network
  • Node and container resource usage 

2. Kubernetes Metrics

  • Pods, nodes, namespaces, deployments
  • Job execution status

3. Application / Pod Health

  • Restart counts
  • CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled
  • Pod states (waiting, failed, evicted)

4. Database Metrics

  • Oracle DB performance indicators
  • General database health 

5. Platform / Environment Health

  • Cluster health
  • Node conditions
  • PaaS-level monitoring

6. Cloud / External Metrics

  • Azure resources
  • VM (Windows/Linux) metrics
  • Helm/deployment status

7. Alerts (Key Use Case)

  • CPU / memory thresholds
  • Pod failures & anomalies
  • Auto-alerts via PromQL + Alertmanager

..but are any of these available to the customer in managed cloud?

The IFS technical organisation has access to them.

In a self-hosted remote deployment you would be able to access them through an URL if the optional features are installed.

@Ed22 Grafana could be used to monitor the ressource consumption of the cluster 

 

 

 

Kibana is more for getting pods logs.

For IFS-managed cloud customers, IFS uses the EFK stack for log monitoring. You can surf your Kibana dashboard by entering the <hostname>/kibana 

A little KQL knowledge would be required to fetch more information from the Elastic Search.
