| Host and Container Metrics from the Kubernetes Cluster |



Each detailed chart has filter options for Node, Docker Image, and Docker Container. As Kubernetes uses the pod name in the name of the Docker Containers a search by pod name in the Docker Container filter makes it easy to select all containers for a specific pod.



Let’s have a look at a few Kubernetes (and Docker) key metrics provided by SPM.



Host Metrics such as CPU, Memory and Disk space usage. Docker images and containers consume more disk space than regular processes installed on a host. For example, an application image might include a Linux operating system and might have a size of 150-700 MB depending on the size of the base image and installed tools in the container. Data containers consume disk space on the host as well. In our experience watching the disk space and using cleanup tools is essential for continuous operations of Docker hosts.
