Pod View
The pod view displays information about resources, networks, and disks, so you can better monitor a pod.
Metric Description
Pod metrics include resource metrics, network metrics, and disk metrics. You can view these metrics in the following tables.
Metric | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
Total Containers | N/A | Total number of containers in a pod. |
Running Containers | N/A | The number of running containers in a pod. |
Pod Status | N/A | The number of pods in different states. |
Container Restarts | N/A | The number of container restarts. |
Used CPU | core | CPU used by the pod. |
CPU Efficiency & Usage | % | - Efficiency: Used CPU/Requested CPU - Usage: Used CPU/Total CPU |
Used Memory | byte | Memory used by a pod. |
Memory Efficiency & Usage | % | - Efficiency: Used memory/Requested memory - Usage: Used memory/Total memory |
CPU Throttling | % | The percentage of the CPU time that is in throttling status. |
Metric | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
Receive Bandwidth | byte/s | The number of bytes received by a container per second. |
Transmit Bandwidth | byte/s | The number of bytes sent by a container per second. |
Rate of Received Packets | N/A | The number of packets received by a container per second. |
Rate of Transmitted Packets | N/A | The number of packets sent by a container per second. |
Packet Loss (Receive) | N/A | The number of packets not received by a container per second. |
Packet Loss (Transmit) | N/A | The number of packets sent from a container but not received by the receiver per second. |
Metric | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
Pod Disk I/O Rate (Read + Write) | N/A | The number of read/write on the disk by a pod per second. |
Pod Disk Throughput (Read + Write) | byte/s | Total number of bytes read to or written from the disk by a pod per second. |
Container Disk I/O Rate (Read + Write) | N/A | The number of read/write operations on the disk by a pod per second. |
Container Disk Throughput (Read + Write) | byte/s | Total number of bytes read to and written from the disk by the pod per second. |
File System Usage | % | The space usage of the file system. |
File System Used | byte | The number of bytes used by the file system. |
