Builtin Alerts

We took the most popular way to monitor Kubernetes and made it better. Robusta's alerts are based on Prometheus, with added observability powers. Below are three example alerts out of many.

Crashing pods

Pre-defined alert

Need better visibility into crashing pods and CrashLoopBackoffs?

Robusta monitors these out of the box. Get push notifications in the integration of your choosing.

Every notification includes the details you need, like application logs from a crashing pod.

OOMKill

Pre-defined alert

OutOfMemory Kills happen when a node is low on memory. The Linux kernel starts terminating processes to regain memory. There is no warning and no chance of prevention.

Robusta monitors OOMKills out of the box. If customers are impacted due to suddenly-terminated pods, you'll know it.

File system disk space

Pre-defined alert

Nodes running out of disk space is an easily fixed problem - if you catch it early enough.

This, and other node issues, are monitored by Robusta out of the box.
