Kubernetes Event Exporter

Kubernetes Event Exporter is an open-source Kubernetes-native monitoring solution that collects, processes, and exposes Kubernetes events as metrics. It reads events from your cluster and exports them to various sinks such as Prometheus, Elasticsearch, or stdout. Kubernetes Event Exporter helps operators observe cluster activity, track resource changes, and troubleshoot issues effectively by making events available as structured metrics. It is lightweight, cloud-native, and integrates seamlessly with existing monitoring pipelines.

Features of Kubernetes Event Exporter:

• Collects and exports Kubernetes events as metrics for monitoring and alerting.
• Supports multiple sinks including Prometheus, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Loki, Slack, and stdout.
• Configurable filtering and routing rules for events based on type, namespace, reason, or labels.
• Lightweight and cloud-native, designed to run inside the Kubernetes cluster.
• Exposes a metrics endpoint for Prometheus scraping.
• Leader election support for high availability in multi-replica deployments.

Access metrics endpoint (Prometheus compatible):

kubectl port-forward deployment/event-exporter 2112:2112 -n kube-event-exporter

Then  curl:

http://127.0.0.1:2112/metrics
