Metrics

A metric explorer scoped by entity type rather than by raw metric name, so you start from the thing you are debugging.

Kubernetes metrics resolve at four levels:

  • host
  • node
  • pod
  • container

Picking the level first is what stops you summing a container gauge across a node and getting a number that means nothing.

  • Metric name picker, scoped to the chosen entity type.
  • Group-by chips — split a series by namespace, workload, node, or any tag.
  • Tag search — filter to the subset you care about.
  • Chart type — line, area or bar.
  • Sparkline tiles for at-a-glance values, expanding into full series charts.

The time range is shared with Traces and Logs.

Metrics are isolated per cluster by tag, so a workload with the same name in two clusters never merges into one series.

Terminal window
rtz metrics list --entity-type K8S_POD
rtz metrics query k8s.pod.memory.usage --entity-type K8S_POD --group-by k8s.pod.name --agg max
