Red Hat OpenShift monitoring in XorMon gathers data via the OpenShift API server. XorMon graphs CPU, memory, pods, container data, IOPS and pod network per node, CPU, memory, data and IOPS per project, pod and container, and also covers stateful sets, deployments, replica sets, cron jobs, jobs, health status and the event log.

Which Red Hat OpenShift metrics does XorMon collect for nodes and projects?

For each node, XorMon collects CPU %, CPU, memory, pods, containers data, containers IOPS and pods net; for each project, it collects pods CPU, containers CPU, pods memory, containers memory, pods net, containers data and containers IOPS.

This page shows graph examples for total deployment CPU, project CPU and node container latency. Red Hat OpenShift is also in the supported technologies of the Resource Configuration Advisor, which checks the CPU, memory and IO setup based on historical utilization data.

How does XorMon monitor OpenShift pods and containers?

XorMon graphs CPU, memory, network, containers CPU, containers memory, containers data and containers IOPS per pod, and CPU, memory, data and IOPS per container.

It also monitors stateful sets, deployments, replica sets, cron jobs and jobs. The OpenShift Topology view shows the logical connections between volumes and pods inside a cluster.

How does XorMon connect to Red Hat OpenShift?

XorMon gathers data via the OpenShift API server, through the REST API with a read-only account, from the XorMon server on port 443 or 6443.

The data frequency table lists a 1 minute sample rate and data collection every 20 minutes for OpenShift. Kubernetes monitoring works the same way, with data gathered via the Kubernetes API server.

Does XorMon show OpenShift health status and events?

Yes: XorMon shows the health status of Red Hat OpenShift and its event log.

The Kubernetes monitoring page lists the same health status and event log for Kubernetes.
