Overview

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.

Use cases

  • Troubleshoot your Kubernetes monitoring setup.
  • Troubleshoot your Prometheus integration setup.
  • Get detailed insights into queries from Dynatrace to the Kubernetes API.
  • Receive alerts when your Kubernetes monitoring setup experiences issues.
  • Get alerted on slow response times of your Kubernetes API.

Get started

Activating alerts:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Anomaly detection > Custom events for alerting in your Dynatrace environment.
  2. Find the following Kubernetes Monitoring Statistics events:
    • Query duration increase: Notifies you if we observe an unusual increase in response times of the Kubernetes API.
    • Failure rate increase: Notifies you if we observe an unusual high rate of failing requests to the Kubernetes API.
  3. If necessary, select the Edit button to customize the event conditions.
  4. Active an alert to get problem notifications.

Customer story Abercrombie and Fitch
“Most other solutions are blind to containerized environments and struggle to instrument Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. Dynatrace was purpose-built for these environments, giving us instant answers and out of the box value from day one.”
