Any difference in K3 and K8 monitoring?

We are running K8s in our environment but may be looking to monitor K3s. Does the monitoring dynatrace provide work exactly the same whether it is k3 or k8s?

Hey Sivart,

It does not appear to be supported as it's not mentioned in the docs as seen below. However, that doesn't mean it won't work. From experience it will likely work just fine but might be missing a few metrics here and there.

Correct, it works but it is not officially supported, thus depending on the k3s deployment you might encounter some issues. I use k3s with OneAgent in my lab environment.
