Alauda Container Platform

Monitoring Dashboards

  • Supports viewing resource monitoring data for workload components on the platform for the past 7 days (with configurable monitoring data retention period). Includes statistics for applications, workloads, pods, and trends/rankings of CPU/memory usage.
  • Supports Namespace-Level monitoring.
  • Supported Workload-Level Monitoring: Applications, Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets, and Pods

Prerequisites

Namespace-Level Monitoring Dashboards

Procedure

  1. Container Platform, click Observe > Dashboards.

  2. View monitoring data under the namespace. Three dashboards are provided: Applications Overview, Workloads Overview, and Pods Overview.

  3. Switch between dashboards to monitor target Overview.

Creating Namespace-Level Monitoring Dashboard

  1. Administrator, create a dedicated monitoring dashboard by referring to Creating Monitoring Dashboard to create a dedicated monitoring dashboard.
  2. Configure the following labels to display the Namespace-Level Monitoring dashboard on the Container Platform:
    • cpaas.io/dashboard.folder: container-platform
    • cpaas.io/dashboard.tag.overview: "true"

Workload-Level Monitoring

This procedure demonstrates how to view pod monitoring through the Deployment interface.

Default Monitoring Dashboard

Procedure

  1. Container Platform, click Workloads > Deployments.

  2. Click a Deployment name from the list.

  3. Navigate to the Monitoring tab to view default monitoring metrics.

Metric interpretation

Monitoring ResourceMetric GranularityTechnical Definition
CPUUtilization/UsageUtilization = Usage/Limit (limits)
Assess container limit configuration. High utilization indicates insufficient limits.
Usage represents actual resource consumption.
MemoryUtilization/UsageUtilization = Usage/Limit (limits)
Evaluation method same as CPU. High rate may cause component instability.
Network TrafficInflow Rate/Outflow RateNetwork traffic (bytes/sec) flowing into/out of pods.
Network PacketReceiving Rate/Transmit RateNetwork packets (count/sec) received/sent by pods.
Disk RateRead/WriteRead/write throughput (bytes/sec) of mounted volumes per workload.
Disk IOPSRead/WriteInput/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) of mounted volumes per workload.

Custom Monitoring Dashboard

  1. Click the Toggle Icon to switch to custom dashboards. Refer to Add Panel in Custom Dashboard to create dedicated Workload-Level monitoring dashboard.
INFO

Hover over chart curves to view per-pod metrics and PromQL expressions at specific timestamps. If exceeding 15 pods, only top 15 entries sorted in descending order are displayed.
