Receives Kubernetes events and turns them into Prometheus metrics.
Good background information on watching Kubernetes events
- CrashLoopBackOff - which happens when a pod starts, crashes, starts again, and then crashes again
- ImagePullBackOff - which happens when the node is unable to retrieve the image
- Evicted - which can happen when a node determines that a pod needs to be evicted or terminated to free up some resources (CPU, memory...etc). When this happens, K8s is supposed to reschedule the pod on another node
- FailedMount / FailedAttachVolume - when pods require a persistent volume or storage, this event prevents them from starting if the storage is not accessible
- FailedSchedulingEvents - when the scheduler is not able to find a node to run your pods
- NodeNotReady - when a node cannot be used to run a pod because of an underlying issue
- Rebooted
- HostPort Conflict
- Investigate possible pruning options for
messageto reduce cardinality.
