Sprinto Check: Azure AKS node CPU utilization should be monitored
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) simplifies deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications using Kubernetes. Monitoring the CPU utilization of your AKS nodes is crucial for optimizing performance, identifying potential bottlenecks, and ensuring efficient resource utilization.
Purpose
The purpose of the Sprinto check for Azure AKS node CPU utilization is to monitor and alert on the percentage of CPU usage actively. This monitoring helps you:
Optimize Performance: Monitor CPU utilization to ensure your AKS nodes operate within acceptable performance levels.
Resource Management: Proactively identify and address issues related to high CPU usage, ensuring efficient resource utilization.
Performance Bottleneck Detection: Receive alerts if the CPU utilization deviates from expected values, allowing you to detect and address potential performance bottlenecks.
How to Resolve
To address this check, follow these steps to create a monitoring alert for Azure AKS node CPU utilization:
Before you Begin
Ensure that you have "Admin" access to the Azure account to create monitoring alerts.
Log in to Sprinto as an administrator.
Creating Monitoring Alert
Log in to the Azure portal using your credentials.
Navigate to the Azure AKS resource you want to monitor.
In the left-hand menu, under Monitoring, select Metrics.
In the Metrics blade, keep the existing namespace for AKS.
Select the metric name as CPU Usage Percentage.
From the top side, click New Alert Rule.
On the Configuration Signal Logic drawer, select an Aggregation type and set a custom environment-specific threshold value. Note: The Aggregation type can be selected based on your environment. If you have no preference, you can choose Average as the Aggregation type.
From the Create Alert Rule window, on the Details tab, set an appropriate alert rule name.
Finally, click Review + Create to create the alert.
Once the alert is created, Sprinto retrieves the change and sets the assigned check status to "Passing."
