Overview
As your organization’s maturity grows, the way you handle metrics develops. Kubernetes metrics monitoring can be segmented into a capability maturity model:
| Level | Focus | Main Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Nothing | Firefighting only |
| 1 | KSM (Object States) | Find basic workload issues |
| 2 | Node and Resource Metrics | Understand runtime resource problems |
| 3 | App Metrics | Detect real user/app issues |
| 4 | Control Plane Metrics | Detect Kubernetes systemic problems |
| 5 | Network/Security Metrics | Detect CNI and service mesh issues |
Use this guide to build your capability: As your capability matures, the number of questions you can answer increases.
