With fleet team management, you can view team-scoped information such as resource utilization aggregated by team and by namespace, enabling you to optimize spending and resource allocation. The Monitoring tab within the Teams page in the Google Cloud console provides an overview of a specific team scope in your fleet.
This page assumes that you are familiar with resource management in Kubernetes. If you need to learn more, see Resource management for Pods and containers in the Kubernetes documentation.
The team scopes overview in the Google Cloud console is available for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Enterprise edition users only.
View the dashboard
To view the Monitoring dashboard:
With your fleet host project selected, go to the Teams section in the Google Cloud console.
In the Teams page, select the team scope whose details you want to view, and then click the Monitoring tab.
Select a time filter
By default the team scope overview shows resource utilization over the past seven days. To change this time window, use the time filter options at the top of the page:
- Select the time window over which you want to view the average resource utilization of the scope containers. Choose one of the predefined options, or select Custom to specify a custom time window.
View team summary
The row below the time filters provides an at-a-glance view of your team scope including the number of clusters and namespaces, and total resource utilization over time. Resource utilization metrics are generated using Cloud Monitoring data from your team's clusters. This section shows you:
- The number of clusters and namespaces associated with the team. Click View all clusters or View all namespaces to see your team's full cluster or namespace list.
- The number of errors in the team scope, if any. If an error is displayed, click View in error logs to get more details in the Logs Explorer.
- The number of restarts across containers for your selected time interval. Click View in restart logs to view more details in the Logs Explorer.
- The average amount of CPU, Memory, and Disk utilization across namespaces for the selected time interval. For more information, see Fleet resource utilization metrics.
View detailed resource utilization
This section provides a detailed view of how your team is using its resources, including resource utilization by team, and top resource utilization by namespace. You can read about how these metrics are calculated in more detail in Fleet resource utilization metrics.
View resource utilization over time
The CPU/memory/disk utilization by team sections show how your team uses resources over time, and how the clusters within your scope request resources compared with the set resource limits. Each panel shows a graph of your team-aggregated CPU, memory, or disk usage over the time window you have chosen, with the following information displayed as separate lines:
- Limit: The maximum amount of the resource that containers across your team scope are allowed to use, for example, 42.5 CPUs.
- Requested: The amount of the resource that containers across your scope have requested, for example, 3.8 CPUs.
- Used: The actual amount of the resource that your containers used, for example, 0.64 CPUs.
To see details for a given point on the graph, scroll across the graph to the time that you are interested in (for example, a visible spike in actual usage on the graph). The resource limit, and requested and actual resource usage information for that time is displayed.
To toggle the display of one or more of the lines in the chart, click the relevant metric or metrics below the graph.
View top resource utilization by namespace
The Top CPU/memory/disk utilization by namespace row shows you the five namespaces that are the biggest users of their resources. Each panel lists your top namespaces in order of utilization (highest first). For each namespace, you can see both a graph of their usage of the resource, and an average of their resource usage relative to the resource limit, and used and requested resources over the chosen time window. This view can help you, for example, to see namespaces that are overutilized.
To view resource utilization for all your namespaces for your chosen time window, click on View all namespaces by CPU/memory/disk utilization.
View error distribution by namespace
This card indicates the namespaces with the most error logs for the time window you have chosen. To view log details, click on View all errors in Cloud Logging.
View restart counts distribution by namespace
This section shows you the namespaces with the highest number of container restarts for the time window you have selected. This can help you assess, for example, if you need to adjust the CPU limit and requested CPU amount if a container has restarted because of CPU usage. To view log details, click on View all restarts in Cloud Logging.
