Zenoss Launches Advanced Monitoring Capabilities for Kubernetes

Zenoss released expanded monitoring capabilities for Kubernetes, the most widely deployed open-source orchestration platform used to manage container technology across cloud environments.

Initially released in 2014, the platform evolved from Google’s code used to manage its data centers and was later donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, has been supported by a community of professional programmers and coders from around the world. Along with containers more generally, Kubernetes has emerged as a primary technology for modern cloud-native workloads. Accordingly, almost 50% of organizations have adopted Kubernetes.

Zenoss monitoring for Kubernetes now provides:

- Overall cluster health monitoring

- Health monitoring for nodes, services and pods

- Dashboards for Kubernetes clusters, nodes, pods and containers

- Service impact and root-cause analysis

- Monitoring of StatefulSet component, enhancing management of stateful applications

- Enhanced filtering for pods and containers

- Enhanced templates for clusters, containers and nodes

- Enhanced dynamic modeling of pods and containers

- Enhanced visibility for controlling cloud expenses

Zenoss initially released monitoring and analytics capabilities for Kubernetes in 2018 and has continuously expanded those capabilities to become a leading monitoring platform for container-based environments. Zenoss provides full-stack monitoring and AIOps for public and private clouds, as well as for all on-prem IT infrastructure.

"Cloud-native environments create new challenges for monitoring highly distributed applications due to the unprecedented complexity and scale," said Ani Gujrathi, CTO for Zenoss. “The solution requires modernizing the approach to monitoring, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.”
