How to differentiate Kubernetes metrics collected using OneAgent vs Prometheus in Dynatrace?

SE — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 07:54:53 GMT

Could someone advise me on how to validate and differentiate the metrics collected by OneAgent and Prometheus from the Kubernetes cluster in Data Explorer in Dynatrace?

I try to summarize several recommendations:

I recommend you to use the Kubernetes Monitoring Statistics Dashboard

You can check there the /metrics scrapping process is working fine. Also have in mind that this integration supports only the counter and gauge Prometheus metric types .

From Data Explorer:

Also in Consumption- Davis data units select Metrics and check the metrics consuming DDU, because OA metrics don't consume DDU's.

Here you can check How to Monitor Prometheus Metrics

Hi Daniel,

I am using node exporter to scrape the metrics from kubernetes to dynatrace. As suggested I tried to look for the data in data explorer for Prometheus metrics as mentioned in your post . I am not receiving any data.

Hope kubernetes monitoring statistics extension has to deploy in the tenant to get that dashboard. Am I Right? If so I tried to upload the extension in the Dynatrace tenant ->Settings- >custom extension section but unable to do so , receiving error like "Could not connect to the server. try again later".

Please advise.

Hi SE,

In metrics browser you can check it. metrics are collected by one agent always start with builtin:, other ingested metrics has a different beginning (name), see the consumtion / metrics from demo environment:

I haven't configured prometheus metrics collection form Kubernetes so I do not konow the excat beginning (name) of these kind of metrics.
