Operating System Monitoring
The Operating System Monitoring dashboards provide application owners with visibility into the performance and resource usage of their deployments, supporting both Kubernetes-based (K8s) and virtual machine (VM) environments.
Two monitoring setups are available depending on the deployment type:
Rancher Applications
For applications deployed in Rancher, two dashboards are provided:
- Workloads Dashboard – Offers operating system–level metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk usage, giving a high-level view of workload resource consumption.
- Pods Dashboard – Focuses on pod-level metrics, including resource requests, limits, and performance, helping owners monitor Kubernetes application behavior.
See: OS Dashboard - K8s
Virtual Machine Applications
For applications deployed on virtual machines, a single dashboard is available.
This dashboard presents OS-level metrics such as CPU, memory, disk, and network activity, offering a consolidated view of VM performance and resource utilization.
