Monitoring a Kubernetes Cluster: The Control Plane
NEW! This course will walk you through monitoring each of a Kubernetes cluster's control plane components: API Server, Controller Manager, Scheduler, and etcd.
This course is the second in a three-part introduction to monitoring Kubernetes with Datadog. This course will demonstrate monitoring the control plane components of a Kubernetes cluster.
While not required, it is recommended that you take the first course, Monitoring a Kubernetes Cluster with Datadog: Install the Agent before starting this one. It will give you a good understanding of how metrics, logs, and events make it from a cluster to Datadog.
