Kubernetes: Pod Conditions

Included in All Checkmk editions
Source Code License Open Source
Supported Agents Kubernetes

A Pod's status depends on an array of PodConditions through which the Pod has or has not yet passed. This check monitors the status of each condition (scheduled, initialized, containersready and ready, along with resizepending and resizeinprogress as of Kubernetes v1.33) and the duration of the condition if it is in an abnormal state. This check does not monitor custom conditions.

Upper levels for WARN/CRIT can be defined to determine how much time must pass before an alert is triggered when a condition is in an abnormal state for an extended period of time.

Discovery

One service is created representing pod conditions.
