What are the best data inputs for container monitoring?

[sloshburch]

We use Kubernetes, and I'd like to use Splunk to get more granular insight into how we use them. Do you have any best practices or apps and add-ons I can use?

We (Outcold Solutions https://www.outcoldsolutions.com/) provide a whole complete set of tools for Monitoring Docker (including UCP, ECS), Kubernetes (self-provisioned, EKS, GCP, AKS, Rancher) and OpenShift.

It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to set up the application and you will get logs, metrics, alerts, a lot of dashboards for various use cases, like performance monitoring, cluster health monitoring, application monitoring, network monitoring, security, audit, allocations, and more.

We have pre-built more than 35 alerts, that are working out of the box and help you to stay ahead of any issue with your clusters.

All our applications available on SplunkBase:
