Kubernetes Integration
Collect Kubernetes metrics, events, and container logs with Guance DataKit in minutes. One-click setup, 50+ key metrics, full documentation.
Deployed as a DaemonSet, the Guance Kubernetes integration collects node- and pod-level metrics, container logs, and cluster events in one pass — no sidecars required. It pairs naturally with the four-layer model (cluster, node, workload, application) used across our Kubernetes content, and feeds the pre-built dashboards and the 10 alert rules documented in the guide below.
