AKS Metrics Catalog¶
The original consolidated AKS metrics reference has been split into topic-specific pages so readers can navigate by ownership and troubleshooting intent.
Topics¶
- Cluster Metrics: Control-plane and cluster-wide signals such as API server latency, API request volume, etcd growth, and node count.
- Node Metrics: Node CPU, memory, conditions, and allocatable-versus-usage interpretation.
- Pod and Container Metrics: Restarts, pod phases, container memory, CPU usage, and throttling context.
- Ingress and Networking Metrics: Load balancer, SNAT, and CoreDNS signals for traffic-path diagnosis.
- Autoscaler Metrics: HPA and cluster autoscaler metrics that explain replica and capacity decisions.
- Managed Prometheus and Grafana: Interpretation guidance for deciding when to use Prometheus-native signals versus Azure Monitor platform metrics.
Usage Notes¶
- Use this page as a stable entry point if older operations or troubleshooting content still links to
aks-metrics.md. - For operational setup, alert wiring, and data collection decisions, start with Monitoring and Logging.
- For reusable KQL investigations, use the KQL query packs instead of copying ad hoc examples from reference pages.
