DevOpsProdigy KubeGraf: Revised K8S monitoring in Grafana
We’re excited to present our latest in-house solution! DevOpsProdigy KubeGraf is a Grafana plugin that allows you to monitor K8s. It’s an updated, advanced version of the official Grafana K8s App plugin.
The official plugin lacked a few significant options that we implemented in KubeGraf:
- Authentication and authorization via bearer token to work with the K8s API to install the plugin with read-only access for cloud K8s solutions, including Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean, etc.
- Support for the latest K8s versions, from K8s 1.12 to K8s 1.17
- Support for the latest versions of Node exporter, kube-state metrics (to create dashboards)
- Monitoring of StatefulSets
