GKE dashboard

Login to the SixthSense portal and click Cloud monitoring on the left pane. The Cloud monitoring dashboard is displayed.

Cloud Monitoring dashboard

By default, the following fields are available.

  • GCP is selected in the Select cloud drop-down list.
  • GKE is selected in the Select service drop-down list.
  • Select the cluster for which you want to view data in the Select cluster drop-down list.

The GKE data visualization is done in the same way as deployment. Summary view at the node level, pod level, and the container level are visible.

Nodes

The Nodes tab lists the following metrics and information in the Metrics window.

  • Cluster cpu cores – total CPU cores allocated to the selected cluster.
  • Cluster cpu allocatable cores – total core which can be allocated to the cluster.
  • Cluster cpu utilization % - total CPU usage in percentage at a cluster level.
  • Cluster nodes total - represents the number of nodes deployed in a cluster.
  • Cluster memory total – represents the total memory allocated to the cluster in GiBs.
  • Cluster memory used – represents the amount of memory used by cluster in GiBs.
  • Cluster storage total – represents the amount of cluster storage.
  • Cluster storage used - represents the amount of cluster storage used in GiBs.
