Monitoring overview¶
Monitor the health of your cluster and virtual machines (VMs) to have a unified operational view of your environment. This ensures high availability and optimal resource performance.
You can monitor the health of your cluster and VMs with the following tools:
- Monitoring OpenShift Virtualization VM health status
- View the overall health of your OpenShift Virtualization environment in the web console by navigating to the Home → Overview page in the OpenShift Container Platform web console. The Status card displays the overall health of OpenShift Virtualization based on the alerts and conditions.
- OpenShift Container Platform cluster checkup framework
- Run automated tests with the OpenShift Container Platform cluster checkup framework to ensure that your cluster, including cluster storage, is optimally configured for OpenShift Virtualization.
- Prometheus queries for virtual resources
- Query vCPU, network, storage, and guest memory swapping usage and live migration progress.
- VM custom metrics
- Configure the
node-exporterservice to expose internal VM metrics and processes. - VM health checks
- Configure readiness, liveness, and guest agent ping probes and a watchdog for VMs.
- Runbooks
- Diagnose and resolve issues that trigger OpenShift Virtualization alerts in the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
