Kubernetes area overview

An overview summary of all monitored Kubernetes entities is available with the other Infrastructure area overviews. This summary includes a selection of widgets displaying key metric data for the Kubernetes entities.

Overall Health

A health score provides real-time insight into the overall health and performance of your monitored entities. The health score is calculated based on anomalies detected for the entity, alerts triggered for the entity's metrics, and the status of the entity. The health score is displayed as a single numerical value that ranges from a Good (70-100) to Moderate (40-69) to Bad (0-39) distinction.

Health Distribution

A graph displaying the number of clusters in individual health score categories over the selected time period.

Active Alerts

An overview of the active alerts triggered by clusters, categorized by severity. Active alerts are alerts that have been triggered but not cleared. This includes acknowledged alerts. For more information about the entity's active alerts, click the widget title or click the vertical ellipsis () in the upper-right corner of the widget and click View All Active Alerts.
