Application Health

Kubernetes monitors your pods and the containers inside those pods. Let’s take a look at the information we can access.

The topology overview screen is available at https://console-openshift-console.apps.aegis-core.fdlabs.dev/topology/ns/-workspace and provides a good deal of information at a glance.

Start by expanding the deployment information box by clicking the nexus deployment. This will expand the information view and give us a high level view of key information such as:

• The version of the deployment
• The number of pods running
• Description of resources

Open the resources tab and click the Pod name to view further details about the running pod:

• Volume mounts
• The IP and hostname for the machine the pod is running on
• Detailed status information

From here you can also view Logs from the running application and even connect directly to a running terminal, more on that in the next step.
