Event Monitoring

Kubernetes events show the cluster running status and resource scheduling status, helping O&M personnel observe resource changes and locate faults. To enable this function, you need to install the log-agent add-on in the cluster. log-agent can collect Kubernetes events and display them on the Monitoring Center > Events page.

Navigation Path

  1. Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to access the cluster console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Monitoring Center. Then, click Events.

    The Events page has two tabs: Overview and Events. On the Overview tab, you can view the total number, trend, and sorting of events in the cluster. On the Events tab, you can view event details, such as the event name, type, content, and information about the resource that triggers the event.

Overview

By default, the Overview tab displays the event statistics of all namespaces in the cluster. You can also select a specified namespace from the drop-down list in the upper right corner to view its event data.

Figure 1 displays the Total Events doughnut chart that shows the distribution of normal and warning events, the Top 5 Warning Events by Resource chart that shows the resource information corresponding to the top 5 warning events, and the Warning Events by Resource Type chart that shows the comparison between the number of warning events and the number of warning events in the last 24 hours.
