Event monitoring on k8s - requirements for cluster nodes

[Lwl]

What does it cost to enable event monitoring on k8s, and what are the requirements for cluster nodes

Hi @Lwl 😎

You can find the requirements for starting the K8S event monitoring here:
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/monitor-events-kubernetes

Licensing of this functionality is based on DDU licences.

From documentation:

To estimate the number of events that consume DDUs, you can query the dsfm:active_gate.kubernetes.events.processed metric, which provides information about the number of events that are being ingested into Dynatrace per Kubernetes cluster.

Example query for a 24-hour timeframe:

dsfm:active_gate.kubernetes.events.processed:splitBy("dt.entity.kubernetes_cluster"):sum:auto:sort(value(sum,descending)):limit(10)
