Ask HN: Is there a good tool for container resource monitoring?

5 points by k_f ↗ HN
There are open source tools like heapster which have to be manually deployed. Are there any good SaaS solutions to manage container resource utilisation? Preferably supporting multiple container engines.

I believe you're looking for something very much like sysdig cloud.

Thanks, that looks promising! Do you use it yourself, or just happen to know about it?

I've had drinks with Loris Degioanni and Brendan Gregg after a conference one year (Monitorama). Getting to ask two legit heavyweights in the industry about how to monitor containers at scale was definitely a high point for me. Also, Loris is an incredibly smart and entirely reasonable guy. I grilled him pretty hard and came away with the distinct impression his tech is exceptional for what it is, and the product pretty much sells itself as a result.

I don't currently use it as we just use prometheus + kubernetes just because my company isn't big on cloud services and doesn't have a need for it just yet.

Note: I have absolutely no relationship to him or Sysdig, just am a random tech guy impressed occasionally by good tech.

Thanks again for the elaborate answer. It sounds like a great product with solid tech. I'll definitely be looking into it!

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea who Degioanni was, although I'm familiar with sysdig. Everyone knows Brendan Greg I guess, especially FreeBSD/Solaris folks (dtrace and all).

I use it to monitor connections, connection speed and processes running on specific containers (usually Jenkins builders) and it's really good & easy to use.
