Monitoring Rancher Worker
As mentioned earlier, eG Enterprise provides a specialized model for monitoring Rancher Worker (see Figure 1).

Using the metrics reported, administrators can quickly find accurate answers for the following performance questions:
-
Is the current utilization of CPU, memory, and disk optimal on each node?
-
Are there any performance bottlenecks in the infrastructure?
-
Is the health of each worker satisfactory?
-
Is the process of pod creation, deletion, and management working efficiently?
-
Is the workload distributed optimally across pods and containers?
-
Does the current setup allow for both horizontal and vertical scaling?
-
Is the application performance up to the mark? Are there any performance issues identified?
-
Is network traffic being handled effectively across the nodes?
-
Is logging effective and able to capture all events?
-
Is there enough capacity for the expected usage of the application?
-
Are all pods and containers set up effectively for the application's requirements?
-
Are the current reported metrics supporting application monitoring?
-
Are nodes in a state that supports backups and recovery processes?
-
Are there any unusual operational patterns that need attention?
-
Is the user experience for management up to the mark?
-
Is historical data available for performance trend analysis?
-
Are the correct and compatible versions of tooling used across the environment?
-
Are there any third-party integrations, and are they working as expected?
-
Are the nodes, containers, and pods restarted in a timely manner? Is uptime being monitored?
-
Are the proxies and related rules working efficiently?
-
Is the application able to meet its service level agreements?
By effectively monitoring Rancher Worker nodes, organizations can enhance performance, security, and overall reliability of their applications.
These layers are similar to the Kubernetes Worker monitoring model; hence,
