Opslogix Kubernetes Management Pack
by OpsLogix
Monitor Kubernetes, OpenShift and AKS clusters, nodes, pods and services in Microsoft SCOM.
Monitoring Kubernetes with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)
The Opslogix Kubernetes Management Pack brings your containerized Kubernetes infrastructure into Microsoft SCOM. Monitor the health and performance of your clusters, nodes, deployments, services and pods, and give IT operations full Kubernetes visibility in a single pane of glass, next to the rest of your infrastructure in the SCOM console.
Why monitor Kubernetes in SCOM?
Containers and Kubernetes make applications more flexible and scalable, but they also make them harder to monitor: there is no longer a one-to-one relationship between an application and the server it runs on. Many organizations use SCOM as the focal point for resolving first- and second-line issues. The Opslogix Kubernetes Management Pack adds your Kubernetes clusters to that view, so operations teams can detect and investigate problems without switching tools.
Monitoring features
- Automatic discovery of the cluster topology: nodes, deployments, services and pods
- Health and performance monitoring of the golden signal metrics
- Cluster and pod log collection, with SCOM alerts when errors are detected
- Log investigation directly from SCOM
- Thresholds tunable with standard SCOM overrides
- 360-degree view of clusters and external components with SCOM Distributed Application (DAM) services
Low impact and secure
