description Azure Container Insights Overview
Specifically designed for Kubernetes and containerized workloads, Container Insights provides deep visibility into the performance and health of pods, nodes, and containers running on AKS. It aggregates metrics like CPU/Memory usage per container, network throughput, and application-specific logs, making it the go-to tool for microservices running in containers.
help Azure Container Insights FAQ
What data does Azure Container Insights collect from my AKS cluster?
Container Insights collects detailed performance metrics including CPU and memory usage per container, as well as network throughput. It also captures logs from Kubernetes components like pods, nodes, and controllers running on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This provides deep visibility into the overall health of your containerized workloads.
Does Azure Container Insights use Log Analytics Workspace to store data?
Yes, Container Insights heavily relies on an existing or newly created Log Analytics Workspace to store its telemetry data. The Containerized Linux agent (Azure Monitor Agent) forwards all collected diagnostics and metrics to this workspace. You can then use Kusto Query Language (KQL) to query this data for custom dashboards.
Can I monitor multi-cluster Kubernetes environments with Azure Container Insights?
Yes, you can attach multiple AKS clusters or even Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters to a single Log Analytics Workspace. This allows you to view aggregated metrics across your entire infrastructure in one centralized dashboard. It is highly useful for enterprise environments managing microservices across different regions.
