Description

AKS now surfaces observability data powered by Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus directly within Namespace and Workload views, making it easier to:
  • Monitor cluster and workload health
  • Troubleshoot pending or failed pods
  • Analyze resource utilization across Nodes, Namespaces, Workloads, and Pods
  • Assess pod performance with event and utilization summaries

With these enhanced insights, you can diagnose issues faster and gain a clearer understanding of cluster performance and resource usage.
