Licensing for Kubernetes monitoring
The main Kubernetes cluster is considered one basic monitor. For the other components, the licensing is done as follows:
Component | Licensing |
Nodes | 1 monitor consumes two basic licenses |
Pods | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Containers | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Services | 5 monitors consume one basic license
|
DaemonSets | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Jobs | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Horizontal Pod Scaler (HPA) | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Controllers | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
ReplicaSets | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
StatefulSets | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Deployments | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
Persistent Volumes (PV) | 5 monitors consume one basic license |
ConfigMaps, Endpoints, and Ingress | Free license |
For example, consider a Kubernetes set up having 5 nodes, 200 pods, 51 deployments, 53 ReplicaSets, 40 DaemonSets, and 200 containers. This would consume a total of 121 basic monitors. The split-up will be like the following:
- The main Kubernetes cluster - one basic monitor
- 5 nodes - 10 basic monitors
- 200 pods - 40 basic monitors
- 51 deployments - 11 basic monitors
- 53 ReplicaSets - 11 basic monitors
- 40 DaemonSets - 8 basic monitors
- 200 containers - 40 basic monitors
