KubeVirt Observability with Prometheus and Grafana

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Shows how KubeVirt metrics are scraped and visualized with Prometheus Operator feeding Grafana dashboards, including a control plane dashboard for VM API, storage and etcd, and examples of alert rules for latency, error rate and CPU spikes. Describes correlating Prometheus metrics with logs and Jaeger tracing to find root cause when configuration changes or deployments introduce regressions, and using regular reports and retention for capacity planning and long term trend detection so outages are predicted and debugged faster.
