Need ability to view which entities/processes/application/containers are consuming from the Pod's Mem/CPU Usage

Hi Team, Application is crashing due to increased memory. Want to view in Instana UI, where actual application memory and CPU is getting used. Example: Allocated memory for application is 6Gi, and 12 CPU. These usages want to see in instana UI Thanks, Jacob

    Thanks Jacob. If we update the UI and add a card for CPU and memory usage for K8s entities like deployments, daemon set etc. that will create a workflow where you can track consumption end to end. Would that work?

    Please let me know if we should have a quick call to discuss.

    Hi Surabi,

    The application is nothing but the services (e.g., a microservice, database, message queue), which was automatically discovered by Instana when we instrument a Kubernetes cluster


    Thanks,

    Jacob
