View container monitoring data
Effective 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on April 14, 2025, Cloud Monitor will no longer provide the Container Service Monitoring feature for new users. For more information, see Announcement: Changes to the Container Service Monitoring Feature in Cloud Monitor. We recommend that you use Managed Service for Prometheus for container monitoring. For more information, see Container Observability.
Cloud Monitor provides a basic container monitoring feature that allows you to view monitoring data for cluster overviews, nodes, namespaces, and workloads of your Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters to track their status.
Prerequisites
Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) is activated and a cluster is created. For more information, see Quick start for first-time users.
The metrics-server component of the ACK cluster is upgraded to V0.3.8.5 or later. For more information, see Upgrade metrics-server before a v1.12 cluster upgrade.
For ACK clusters created after 10:00:00 on April 25, 2024, manually enable the Cloud Monitor feature for the metrics-server component. For more information, see Enable the Cloud Monitor feature for an ACK cluster.
