Monitoring Prometheus Grafana metrics

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.
