Observability

The portal includes a built-in, per-cluster observability view — you don’t set up a separate dashboard, install agents, or log in anywhere else. Open a cluster and the metrics are rendered natively right in the portal.

What you can see

The observability view shows the health of the parts of your cluster Aether manages and the nodes you run on, over time:

• Control-plane health — CPU, memory, and overall health of your cluster’s managed control plane.
• Cluster datastore — the health and resource usage of the fully managed datastore that backs your control plane.
• Worker-node metrics — CPU and memory for the nodes in your node pools, so you can see how your workloads are loading them.

How to read it

Open your cluster in the portal and select the observability view. The panels plot each metric over a time window, so you can:

• Spot CPU or memory pressure building before it becomes a problem.
• Confirm a cluster is healthy after provisioning or a scaling change.
• Decide whether to scale a node pool up — or whether you have headroom to scale it down.

Note

The observability view focuses on cluster and node health metrics. For application-level logs, metrics, and traces of your own workloads, run your preferred in-cluster observability tooling alongside them.
