RELATED IDEAS

Instana is really good at monitoring as observability of Kubernetes. But its capability is only focusing on Pod as Kubernetes deployment not as K8S CronJob that is so different.

Instana has plenty of built-in Events for Kubernetes Monitoring. However, some built-in events only suit Pods as Kubernetes deployment, not Pods as CronJob.
Instana built-in Event : "Kubernetes Pod condition status" generates Critical Issue in the name of "Condition [RunningTooLong]: Container running too long" for the K8S CronJobs.

All CronJobs are completed successfully with some temporary unhealthy statues while running.

I opened this issue as CASE at Instana support site and replied as AHA registration is needed to fix this issue as new feature regarding built-in Event in Instana.

    Hi @Guest ! Nice to meet you. I'm Jayanth, the PM for Kubernetes at Instana. I'm looking into your idea here.

    Now that we have Smart Alerts, you should be able to create an alert based on the number of failed pods but grouped by the cronjob name:


    This should to alert if any specific job of a cronjob has failed. Can you validate if this approach works for you?
