Kubernetes-gke

Overview

Visualize and monitor Kubernetes resources within Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), such as deployments, pods, services, storage, and configmaps. Gain insights into cluster performance, workload efficiency, and resource utilization, while ensuring governance and visibility across Kubernetes environments. The blueprint helps identify potential risks, improve configurations, streamline workflows, enable real-time monitoring, and integrate with other tools for enhanced orchestration and operational efficiency.

Configurations

Configuration	Description
Blueprint Account Name	A human-readable name for your account that will be used to identify this account across the application.
Project ID	GCP Project ID that contains the Kubernetes cluster.
Private Key	GCP Private Key with access to the Kubernetes Cluster.
ClientEmail	Client email associated with the service account.
Region	The GCP region where your Kubernetes cluster is hosted.
Cluster Name	The name of your Kubernetes cluster to be monitored.
Enable CISKubernetes Benchmark	Enable this to run automated checks against the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark for security best practices.
Data Crawl Frequency	The frequency at which Kaleidoscope should scan the cluster for resources (like pods, services, etc.).
Event Crawl Frequency	The frequency at which Kaleidoscope will crawl the account to monitor the cluster for events (like deployments, scaling, etc.).
