Problem alerts for memory consumption for kubernetes pods

[skhamitkar]

Dear Community, 

I have a requirement: 

Scenario: If a specific k8s workloads is using above 90% of memory against memory limit then, I should have an alerts for it, Either in dynatrace probelm notfication page or in custiom integretion(email or webhook)

Note: We have dynatrace managed environment

To understand it I have added a demo screenshot from our environment. This workloads memory limits is 6GiB as soon if consumption goes beyond 90% which more that 5.4GiB. We should have notification for it. Thanks

Hi,

Have you check Alert on common Kubernetes/OpenShift issues?

Best regards

@AntonPineiro is it possible to get notification in email? I am asking this coz the team who put this requirement they want an email too. If its possible can you let me know with the detailed steps?

Hi there,

Yes it is possible to get these alerts per e-mail.  First you'll need to create an alerting profile matching the event's you would like to have covered.
After this you can set up problem notification toward e-mail.

The alerting profiles filters the events related to Kubernetes (if configured correctly of course). Afterwards you'll enable problem forwarding with this alerting  profile attached to ensure they only get the Kubernetes based problems (and not everything 🙂 )
