Why monitor Rancher Worker?

Rancher worker is a worker node in a Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher. Since they directly run the applications and services that support business operations, effective monitoring is critical. It helps detect performance issues like high CPU, memory, or disk usage before they impact services. Close monitoring of Pods, Containers, Kubelets, and related components enables quick root cause identification - whether it's failing pods, network outages, or resource bottlenecks. It also supports proactive actions like scaling, patching, or fine-tuning resource usage for optimal performance. If a worker node fails or experiences performance issues, it can lead to service outages, customer dissatisfaction, and potential revenue loss. Therefore, comprehensive monitoring of Rancher worker node is vital to assure that all components supporting your applications are healthy and functioning correctly. eG Enterprise simplifies this process by offering a specialized monitoring model explicitly designed for Rancher worker nodes.
