Kubernetes Cluster State

Kubernetes Cluster State

Plugin: go.d.plugin Module: k8s_state

Overview

This collector monitors Kubernetes Nodes, Pods and Containers.

This collector is supported on all platforms.

This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.

Default Behavior

Auto-Detection

This integration doesn’t support auto-detection.

Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

Performance Impact

The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.

Setup

Prerequisites

No action required.

Configuration

File

The configuration file name for this integration is go.d/k8s_state.conf.

You can edit the configuration file using the edit-config script from the Netdata config directory.

cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config go.d/k8s_state.conf

Options

There are no configuration options.

Examples

There are no configuration examples.

Metrics

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

Per node

These metrics refer to the Node.

Labels:

Label Description
k8s_cluster_id Cluster ID. This is equal to the kube-system namespace UID.
k8s_cluster_name Cluster name. Cluster name discovery only works in GKE.
k8s_node_name Node name.

Metrics:

Per container

These metrics refer to the Pod container.

Labels:

Alerts

There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.

Troubleshooting

Debug Mode

To troubleshoot issues with the k8s_state collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn’t working.

  • Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that’s not the case on your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].

    cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
    
  • Switch to the netdata user.

    sudo -u netdata -s
    
  • Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:

    ./go.d.plugin -d -m k8s_state
