Monitoring Containers

LM Container is designed to monitor Kubernetes, a container-orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management.  Argus, a LogicMonitor application, runs in the Kubernetes cluster to update LM Envision so it always reflects the current cluster state. Collectors are automatically installed in the cluster to gather performance metrics. With LM Container, you are provided observability into key metrics for Kubernetes components; such as nodes, pods, services, and deployments.
