- Product information
- Release notes
Overview
This Dynatrace extension leverages data collected from the Google Operations API to constantly monitor health and performance of Google Kubernetes Engine services. This extension combines all relevant data into pre-configured dashboards and provides alerting and event tracking.
This is intended for users, who want to:
- enrich their monitoring data with metrics and logs from Google Operations API
This enables you to:
-
View and analyze 116 metrics that are specific to Google Kubernetes Engine, like Log entries, Allocatable cores, CPU allocatable utilization, and more.
-
Use dashboard presets for immediate visibility into availability, usage, and performance of your Google Kubernetes Engine services.
-
Build custom dashboards for your cloud infrastructure.
-
Analyze Google Kubernetes Engine logs.
-
Set custom alerts that trigger remediation workflows.
Google Kubernetes Engine metric and log ingestion requires advanced Google Cloud integration.
Compatibility requirements
- Dynatrace Google Cloud integration version 1.0.0+. To enable metric and log ingestion, see Dynatrace Documentation.
- Dynatrace version 1.256+
Details
This extension package contains:
- Configuration for Google Kubernetes Engine metrics ingest based on your selected feature set (see the full list of feature sets and metrics )
- Google Kubernetes Engine preconfigured dashboard
- Topology mapping and service instance analysis view
To provide correlation and causation analysis all ingested metrics and logs are analyzed by the Dynatrace Davis AI engine, which consumes DDUs.
Get started
To add this extension to your environment:
- Follow the instructions detailed in Dynatrace Documentation. (Ignore the “Download” button below.)
- Ensure that you have GCP integration running in your environment and that Google Kubernetes Engine service is configured.
Following GCP integration and Google Kubernetes Engine configuration:
- The first data points will be ingested by Dynatrace Davis within ~5 minutes.
- Work with the Google Kubernetes Engine preconfigured dashboard to understand its capabilities.
- Explore Google Kubernetes Engine metrics in Data Explorer and create custom charts.
- Set custom events for alerting
