Tencent Cloud EKS Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud EKS Monitoring Integration to:

Monitor CPU and memory resource availability and consumption across serverless Kubernetes pods.
Track pod health—total, running, pending, and abnormal pod counts.
Detect pod scheduling failures and crash loops before they impact workloads.
Plan elastic capacity based on resource usage trends across your EKS environment.

This help document contains instructions to set up Tencent Cloud EKS Monitoring Integration and related information.

Setup and configuration

During your Tencent Cloud monitor setup, if you have selected EKS in the Services/Resources drop-down, all your EKS resources will be auto-detected and monitored without the need to manually create a monitor for each resource.

If you haven't selected EKS during Tencent Cloud monitor creation, follow these instructions:

Log in to your Site24x7 account.
Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud, select your Tencent Cloud monitor, then go to any of the dashboards on the left pane.
Click the hamburger icon and select Edit, which brings you to the Edit Tencent Cloud Monitor page.
On the Edit Tencent Cloud Monitor page, select EKS from the Services/Resources drop-down and click Save.
After successful configuration, go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > EKS. Now you can view the discovered resources.

Data collection frequency

Performance metrics of your Tencent Cloud EKS resources will be collected every five minutes and updated in the Site24x7 portal every five minutes by default; metrics are also collected based on the selected poll interval.

Supported metrics

Metric name	Description	Unit
Total CPU Cores	Total number of CPU cores allocated across all pods in the EKS cluster	Cores
Used CPU Cores	Number of CPU cores currently in use across all pods	Cores
Total Memory	Total memory allocated across all pods in the EKS cluster	GB
Memory Usage	Memory currently consumed across all pods in the cluster	Bytes
Abnormal Pods	Number of pods in a failed, error, or crash-looping state	Count
Pending Pods	Number of pods waiting to be scheduled or for resources to become available	Count
Running Pods	Number of pods currently in a running state	Count
Total Pods	Total number of pods in the EKS cluster	Count

Threshold configuration

Global configuration

Go to the Admin section in the left navigation pane.
Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and choose the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu. Click Add Threshold Profile from the top-right corner.
Set the monitor type as Tencent Cloud EKS. Now you can set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > EKS.
Choose a resource for which you would like to set a threshold, then click the hamburger icon . Select Edit, which directs you to the Edit Tencent Cloud EKS Monitor page.
You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting Threshold and Availability. You can also configure IT Automation at the attribute level.

IT Automation

Site24x7's IT Automation tools help with automatically resolving performance degradation issues. When a breach occurs, the alarm engine continuously examines the system events for which thresholds have been defined and performs the mapped automation.

Configuration Rules

With Site24x7's Configuration Rules, you can set parameters like Threshold Profile, Notification Profile, Tags, and Monitor Group for multiple monitors and automate the configuration settings of your monitoring resources.
