Kubernetes

Kubernetes collection is optional. Build with the kubernetes Cargo feature, attach a cluster, then create a Kubernetes monitor whose target identifies the resource to inspect.

cargo build --release --features kubernetes
monitra k8s attach --name production --kubeconfig /path/to/kubeconfig --context production --namespace default
monitra k8s list
monitra monitor add --name api --target production/default/api --kind k8s-deployment --interval 30

The CLI also accepts k8s-stateful-set and k8s-service kinds. Omitted context selects the kubeconfig current context; omitted namespace uses default. Cluster attachments are saved in XDG config and take effect on the next daemon start. monitra k8s detach production removes one.

The engine polls a collector at each monitor’s interval. If the collector cannot be created or queried, it logs the error and records an unknown observation; it does not assert that the resource is down or stop the whole daemon. Without the kubernetes feature, no collector factory is available. See Providers.
