Monitor Kubernetes cluster with Elastic
summary
Claims a single, centrally managed observability stack that ingests logs, metrics and traces from EKS/AKS/GKE or self‑managed clusters using an Elastic Agent daemonset that auto‑upgrades and is controlled via fleet server policies. Demonstrates filebeat/metricbeat functionality collapsed into one agent, APM and APM and OpenTelemetry tracing with service maps, prebuilt Kibana dashboards, alerts via Watcher (free) or Kibana rules (paid), and shows it handling hundreds of pods (example: 50 nodes × 10 pods ≈ 500, demo shows 631) with live correlation.
