VMware Tanzu™ Kubernetes Grid™ Integration

VMware Tanzu™ Kubernetes Grid™ Integrated Edition, previously called VMware PKS, enables operators to provision, operate, and manage enterprise-grade Kubernetes clusters. This integration uses the wavefront-kubernetes-collector, which runs natively in Kubernetes. The integration collects detailed metrics about the containers, namespaces, nodes, pods, deployments, services and the cluster itself. See VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integration Details for a list of predefined alerts, an architecture overview, and troubleshooting info.

This integration explains how to configure Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition monitoring with Operations for Applications from the PKS tile present in PCF Ops Manager. After you’ve completed the integration setup, you can use Operations for Applications to monitor the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition cluster.

In addition to setting up the metrics flow, this integration also installs a dashboard. Here’s a preview of the Summary dashboard.
