Wavefront by VMware efficiently monitors containers at scale. The Wavefront platform includes dashboards that give DevOps real-time visibility into the operations and performance of containerized applications and Kubernetes clusters. Wavefront is, in short, a observability platform with automated service discovery and full-stack analytics.
The Wavefront service can measure, correlate, and analyze data across containers and Kubernetes clusters, including containers and clusters running on VMware Enterprise PKS.
The dashboard displays data on the performance of microservices and resource utilization to help you identify issues, troubleshoot problems, and optimize applications. The data can, for example, help make decisions about how and when to scale a container environment.
Wavefront can display various information:
Metrics
Histograms
Span logs
Traces and distributed tracing analysis
The powerful observability of Wavefront can also help you evaluate and tune the performance of microservices. For example, Wavefront can help you isolate and resolve microservices rate, error, and duration problems.
Here's a video that demonstrates how Wavefront lets you examine containerized applications running on VMware Enterprise PKS:
Because Wavefront can correlate Kubernetes performance with the performance of applications, it can help you scale faster while maintaining high quality.
See a real-time, full-stack picture of your Kubernetes environment.
Find out about incidents earlier with alerts and solve them faster by drilling down into the data
Understand and assess long-term trends.
Improve collaboration and visibility across your engineering teams.
The right tooling can help you run microservices at scale. Take a look at this ebook titled Finding and Resolving Microservices Bottlenecks with Modern Observability, which shows you how to do the following:
Overcome typical problems in monitoring microservices.
Isolate and resolve issues with the performance of microservices.
