Monitoring Kubernetes + Docker, part 3: Sensu + Prometheus

[sorangutan]

This is part 3 in a series on monitoring Kubernetes. Check out parts 1 and 2.

In part 1 of this series, we discuss the rise of Kubernetes and Docker for containerization and container orchestration. I also shared some of the challenges these new technologies present and what sources of data we use to monitor Kubernetes. Part 2 dives into collecting Kubernetes data with Prometheus, plus the pros and cons of that approach. As promised in the conclusion of that post, I’ll address those cons — showing how Sensu and Prometheus form a complementary solution.
