Acure's Kubernetes Observability Solution: Gain Control, Insight, and Efficiency

When Kubernetes becomes part of your technology stack, you might feel overwhelmed with the need for specialized skills and the various challenges they present.

From configuring multiple separate monitoring tools, such as apps for collecting metrics and logs, storing and rotating collected data, visualization, alerting, and providing access to each tool for team members can be tedious and time-consuming.

...To constantly fixing annoying problems, such as running out of disk space on a volume or an expired SSL-certificate, that can go unnoticed if not caught in time.

Since you need to cover all the levels involved in the operation of end applications, do you embark on a steep learning curve, or onboard costly DevOps experts to manage the complexity?

There's no need for a difficult decision! Simply test our Acure Kubernetes Observability Pack which significantly simplifies managing K8s and provides enhanced visual clarity!

Why Acure is Your Best Choice? All-in-1 Monitoring & Observability Multi-Tool Pack

Acure makes it simple and efficient to monitor your Kubernetes environment, providing you with expert-level insights. With Acure's Kubernetes Pack, you can:

Get value immediately:
Easily deploy, set up, and troubleshoot using our pre-configured monitoring tool with just a few CLI commands or by launching our Helm chart.
Gain comprehensive insights:
Understand microservice dependencies, application performance, platform health, and Kubernetes resource consumption across your environment.
Proactively identify issues:
Automatically receive notifications when health and performance metrics cross defined thresholds, enabling developers and SREs to effectively address performance and reliability concerns.
Integrate your favorite tools:
Effortlessly monitor Kubernetes components' health and performance with integrated observability tools for metrics, log queries, collection, alerting, and notifications, eliminating data storage and dashboard configuration concerns.
Real-time Observability for Kubernetes Infrastructure

Automatically discover and monitor workload objects, ensuring full coverage of your cloud infrastructure

Visualize critical information across your entire Kubernetes cluster, regardless of its size.

Track availability, health, and resource utilization:

  • pod and workload overviews to quickly identify unexpected differences in app and microservice instances;
  • native Kubernetes events to diagnose common platform problems: crash loops, failed image pulls, and OOM containers.
Accelerate Troubleshooting

Identify and resolve issues faster with high-level monitoring, color-coded health visuals, and comprehensive observability data, all in one place:

  • color-coded health visuals and icons to faster issue identification and resolution;
  • workload filtering by namespace and workload type to effortlessly detect pending and failed pods;
  • rapid navigation within Kubernetes namespaces to locate pending or failed pods;
  • performance analysis to identify and diagnose CPU-throttled workloads.
All-in-One Observability Solution for Infrastructure and Application Teams

Use Acure platform to:

  • collect, correlate, and display crucial metrics, logs, and events in context;
  • set customizable views to tailor individual views for different teams, ensuring each team can focus on their specific tasks.
  • configure an optimal depth and granularity of objects: for a high-level overview of cluster health or performance investigation of a specific group of services;
  • analyze and understand the business impact of issues in your cluster with Service Maps that reveal affected components and services.
Change Analysis

All of the data in Acure is stored and available for retrospective analysis.

Track changes in your environment and analyze their impact on your services. Access historical data for Kubernetes resources, logs, events, incidents, and alerts, even after their life cycles have ended.

Platform Flexibility

Customize metrics, rules, alerts, and intervals, or connect custom metrics from your applications or self-written exporters.

Acure supports multiple log collection platforms (such as Elasticsearch and Fluentd) and best troubleshooting practices with smart problem clustering and hints for quick resolution.

Unified Notification Service

Don't bother the development teams with minor problems!

Configure intelligent alerts, eliminate false positives, and reduce alert noise for a more streamlined notification experience.

Master Kubernetes Monitoring in 2 Steps: Agent Installation & Preconfigured Content Pack Activation

Easily monitor and manage all your critical Kubernetes environments with Acure's agent and Kubernetes content pack. The agent monitors native Kubernetes and managed services like EKS, AKS, and GKE, only requiring view rights for added security.

1.Install the Acure agent using our Helm chart or manually using kubectl.

The Acure agent, launched as a deployment on one of the worker nodes, collects information and metrics from the Kubernetes API and passes it to Acure's metric and event collectors.

2.Start using our preconfigured objects included in the content pack, and transform raw data into informative signals with just one click.

TData streams, automated scenarios, and key metric rules are all part of the package, ensuring comprehensive observability for your Kubernetes cluster.
