Containers-roadmap: [EKS] Kubernetes metrics to CloudWatch

Created on 12 Dec 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: aws/containers-roadmap

Some metrics from eg: Kubernetes, Kubelet, kube-state-metrics to Cloudwatch. As of today, many are using Prometheus to collect the metrics. But if you already utilize Cloudwatch you now have two monitoring systems.

EKS Proposed

fyi: In the meantime I've been using Prometheus along with https://github.com/cloudposse/prometheus-to-cloudwatch - however, it doesn't have any sort of whitelisting/filtering for metrics so it will essentially push everything to Cloudwatch - and it can only poll one metrics endpoint.

Would it be fair to ask for metrics from the control plane as well?

Any update on this? Though EKS is there, no proper monitoring alerting possible still on aws

@ysaakpr,

On May 20, 2019, AWS announced about: CloudWatch Container Insights for Amazon EKS and Kubernetes (Preview). But the metrics are not really useful. I created a Request at #548
