Kubernetes Metrics

Leverage the Lumigo Operator to seamlessly send performance metrics from your Kubernetes cluster. Gain valuable insights into cluster health, resource utilization, and potential bottlenecks, enabling proactive troubleshooting and optimization.

How to get started

First, if you don't already have a Lumigo Operator installed, follow these instructions.

Kubernetes metrics are sent by default from the Lumigo Operator, but currently requires taking an additional step:

1. Make sure you are using the latest version of the Operator.
2. Add a secret called lumigo-credentials with the key token, and set the value to your Lumigo token in the same namespace as the Operator:
   kubectl create secret generic lumigo-credentials --from-literal token=t_xxxxxxx --namespace lumigo-system
3. Restart the Operator:
   kubectl rollout restart deployment --selector=app.kubernetes.io/name=lumigo-operator --namespace lumigo-system

Note

The secret described here is not the same as the one used for sending traces and logs from the Lumigo OpenTelemetry distro. You may already have a similar secret created in the namespace where your application lives, but this one must be created in the same namespace as the Lumigo Operator.
