sk8l(skål)
Monitor and view your cronjobs/job activity. Use the exported prometheus metrics to get alerts when your cronjob fails, takes longer than expected or does not start when it should.
- Get an overview of your cronjobs running in a namespace
- See which cronjobs run more often
- Get a quick glimpse of a cronjob, job or pod configuration via the UI
- Use the exported prometheus metrics:
- Total registered cronjobs
- Total completed cronjobs
- Total cronjobs failures
- Amount of current running cronjobs
- Total completions of a cronjobs
- Current duration of a running cronjob
- Total failures of a cronjob
- Familiar UI, based on the open source Primer framework by github.

The commmunication between apps is encrypted.
To manually configure TLS, first create/retrieve a key & certificate pair. Then create TLS secrets in the namespace:
kubectl create secret tls -n NAMESPACE sk8l-server-cert-secret --cert=path/to/tls.cert --key=path/to/tls.key
kubectl create secret tls -n NAMESPACE sk8l-ca-root-cert-secret --cert=ca-cert.pem --key=ca-key.pem
The Kubernetes community releases minor versions roughly every three months. These are the versions currently supported and tested against.
| Version | Tested Version |
|---|---|
| v1.29 | v1.29.2 |
| v1.28 | v1.28.7 |
| v1.27 | v1.27.11 |
| v1.26 | v1.26.14 |
sk8l collects and publishes aggregated metrics for all the configured cronjobs on a namespace and also metrics per each single cronjob.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| sk8l_[NAMESPACE]_registered_cronjobs_total | Total registered cronjobs |
| sk8l_[NAMESPACE]_completed_cronjobs_total | Total completed cronjobs |
| sk8l_[NAMESPACE]_failing_cronjobs_total | Total cronjobs failures |
| sk8l_[NAMESPACE]_running_cronjobs_total | Amount of current running cronjobs |
| sk8l_[NAMESPACE]_[CRONJOB_NAME]_completion_total | Total completions of a cronjobs |
| sk8l_[NAMESPACE]_[CRONJOB_NAME]_duration_seconds | Current duration of a running cronjob |
| sk8l_[NAMESPACE]_[CRONJOB_NAME]_failure_total | Total failures of a cronjob |
sk8l can generate an annotations json configuration based on the current configured cronjobs on kubernetes that can be copy/pasted and imported into Grafana to create a dashboard.
