How to monitor applications running inside Kubernetes cluster without installing application agent?

[Guilin.Yan]

Hi,

If everything (for example, frontend Web application, backend microservices, databases...) is running in a Kubernetes cluster and deployed appdynamics-operator, appdynamics-cluster-agent, serverviz-machine-agent in the same Kubernetes cluster. I want to know is it possible to monitor applications running inside the Kubernetes cluster without installing application agent? 

log example of frontend web application. It contains response status, request time, upstream response time and so on.

Hi @Guilin.Yan,

Thank you for your post on the community!

If you have already used our cluster agent, you can use auto-instrument function below:

https://docs.appdynamics.com/appd/22.x/22.7/en/infrastructure-visibility/monitor-kubernetes-with-the....

By using auto-instrumentation, you can monitor Java, .NET Core on Linux and Node.js applications without installing language agents manually.

Best regards,

Hirokazu
