Logging, monitoring, and alerting

FPCO Monitoring and Metrics is a solution that allows you to monitor your entire Kubernetes cluster and the applications running on the cluster.

It integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes as well as stand alone instances running outside the cluster.

FPCO monitoring and metrics builds on top of industry standard cloud native OSS solutions:

Comes pre-configured
