Monitoring of the kube cluster.

 One way of monitoring the kube cluster is via ELK stack, Heapster, InfluxDB & Grafana.

A two set of monitoring is required within kubernetes-

Cluster monitoring (which ensures the stability of entire cluster) and Pod monitoring (ensuring pod stability)

Various methods to follow are - Using Daemon sets (to create a special pod) which monitors the deployment of service on every pod.

Using Heapster

Monitoring via Heapster, InfluxDB and Grafana

# kubectl -f create

# kubectl edit deployment/heapster --namespace=kube-system

command:

/heapster

--source=kubernetes.summary_api:””

--sink=influxdb:http://monitoring-influxdb.kube-system.svc:8086

Grafana is itself an extremely flexible tool & can be combined with any specific metrics.

In the above snaps the metrics of docker and kubernetes is used, every pod within kubernetes will follow the same metric.
