Monitoring OpenShift pods lifecycle

imoskovko1 — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 14:28:45 GMT

Hello!

Can one please tell me or point me to answer if Dynatrace can monitor OpenShift (and other orchestrators) pods restart, scale up/down, deploy events?

What is being tracked in pods lifecycle?

I am not deep in container business so need to ask this simple question. Many thanks!

Regards, Igor

dynatrace was built with containers and elasticity in mind, so those concepts are fully supported.

If you instrument the container host (e.g. OpenShift worker node) all pods are automatically instrumented. That is for new apps as well as scale up / down.

Deployment events are detected and you can push more meta data for deploys (like build numbers, git commit ids,...) to dynatrace via the events API.

Thank you Patrick. I will check Youtube Dynatrace channels to get more info.
