Kubernetes Monitoring Statistics

Troubleshoot your Kubernetes and Prometheus integration setup with an out-of-the-box dashboard. The extension allows you to investigate Dynatrace and the Kubernetes API server interactions. Predefined alerts detect unusual behavior of the Kubernetes API, such as slow response times. Additionally, it helps you during troubleshooting of your Prometheus integration in Kubernetes.

This extension aims to provide you with self-monitoring statistics for all the Kubernetes clusters you already monitor within your Dynatrace environment. If you want to monitor additional Kubernetes environments, please refer to our Kubernetes extension.
