Node View

The node view displays node resource, network, and disk metrics, so you can better monitor a node.

Metric Description

You can view the node metrics in the following tables.

Figure 1 Node resource metrics
Table 1 Node resource metrics

Metric

Unit

Description

Node CPU Rate

%

CPU usage of the node.

CPU Requests Commitment

%

CPU requests of the node/Total CPU of the node

CPU Limits Commitment

%

CPU limits/Total CPU of the node

Memory Usage

%

Memory usage of the node.

Memory Requests Commitment

%

Memory requests of the node/Total memory of the node

Memory Limits Commitment

%

Memory limits of the node/Total memory of the node

Pods CPU Rate

%

CPU usage of each pod on the node

Memory Usage

Bytes

Memory usage of the pod on the node

Metric

Unit

Description

Receive Bandwidth

Bytes/s

The number of bytes received by the node per second.

Transmit Bandwidth

Bytes/s

The number of bytes sent by the node per second.

Network Receive Rate (Pod)

Bytes/s

The number of bytes received by each pod on the node per second.

Network Transmit Rate (Pod)

Bytes/s

The number of bytes sent by the pod on the node per second.

Rate of Received Packets

Count/s

The number of packets received by each pod on the node per second.

Rate of Transmitted Packets

Count/s

The number of packets transmitted by each pod on the node per second.

Rate of Received Packets Dropped

Count/s

The number of packets not received by each pod on the node per second.

Rate of Transmitted Packets Dropped

Count/s

The number of packets transmitted by each pod on the node but not received by the receiver per second.

Figure 3 Node disk metrics
Table 3 Node disk metrics

Metric

Unit

Description

Node I/O Per Second (Reads + Writes)

Count/s

Total number of read and write operations performed by each pod on the disk per second.

Node I/O Throughput (Read + Write)

Bytes/s

Total number of bytes read from and written to the disk by each pod on the node per second.
