eG Innovations’ converged application and infrastructure performance monitoring capabilities provide end-to-end visibility and correlated analytics for every layer, every tier of your IT landscape.

The eG Enterprise Universal Agent Operator automatically configures a host agent on every Kubernetes worker node. The host agent auto-discovers the worker nodes and application containers running as Pods on each node and tracks their performance and utilization levels. In-depth monitoring of applications running on containers is also provided using the same host agent. No additional agents are required for the containers.

Capabilities

• Rolls out the egagent pod per node to monitor its pods and the node itself
• Automatic BTM profiler injection using webhook based injection for deep application monitoring and transection tracing.

Prerequisite

• Check if cert-manager is installed in cluster or not using.

      $ kubectl get pods -namesapce cert-manager
      NAME                                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
      cert-manager-5c6866597-zw7kh               1/1     Running   0          2m    
      cert-manager-cainjector-577f6d9fd7-tr77l   1/1     Running   0          2m    
      cert-manager-webhook-787858fcdb-nlzsq      1/1     Running   0          2m

       If not available then install cert-manager using this URL.

• Check if OLM(Operator Lifecycle Manager) is installed or not using by verifying its version.

      $ kubectl get csv packageserver -n olm
      NAME            DISPLAY          VERSION   REPLACES   PHASE
      packageserver   Package Server   0.28.0               Succeeded

       If not available then install olm using this URL.
