Monitor your Pods

Monitoring Infrastructure​

The Monitoring Infrastructure section is the Developer Console area dedicated to the control and monitoring of its infrastructure.

The area is divided by the number of environments existing in the specific project. In the top right dropdown, it is possible to change the environment to be monitored.

Within each environment you can view, using the sidebar on the left, all the workloads that you can monitor, as pods.

All the available pods and their current properties. The labels of the columns in the table are:

  • Status : Status representing a general overview of the Pod state. Can be:

    • OK: the Pod has phase completed or running, has all containers ready and has never restarted
    • Warning: the Pod has phase pending or error, has some container not ready or has restarted

  • Name: the name that identifies the Pod

  • Component: the name of the service with the tag version

  • Phase: the current status of the Pod. Can be:

    • running: it is deployed and working.
    • completed: it is correctly deployed and has completed its work.
    • pending: the Pod is scheduled but could have some configuration error, or the containers are still not ready.
    • error: the Pod has failed.

  • Containers Ready: the number of ready pods / the total.

    note

    In case the Containers ready field has the value 0/1 could be because the Pod has Status completed, so everything is ok, or pending and is possible the presence of configuration errors.

  • Total Pods Restart: the number of times the Pod has restarted.

  • Age: the date since the Pod was deployed.
