Verify Kubernetes Cluster metrics

10 minutes  

Once the installation has been completed, you can log in to Splunk Observability Cloud and verify that the metrics are flowing in from your Kubernetes cluster.

From the left-hand menu click on Infrastructure infra infra and select Kubernetes, then select the Kubernetes nodes pane. Once you are in the Kubernetes nodes view, change the Time filter from -4h to the last 15 minutes (-15m) to focus on the latest data.

Next, click Add filters (next to the Time filter) and add the filter k8s.cluster.name (1). Type or select the cluster name of your workshop instance (you can get the unique part from your cluster name by using the INSTANCE from the output from the shell script you ran earlier). You can also select your cluster by clicking on its image in the cluster pane. You will now only have your cluster visible (2).

Navigator Navigator

Scroll down the page to see the metrics coming in from your cluster. Locate the Node log events rate chart and click on a vertical bar to see the log entries coming in from your cluster.

To test the application you need to obtain the public IP address of the instance you are running on. You can do this by running the following command:

curl http://ifconfig.me

You can validate if the application is running by visiting http://<IP_ADDRESS>:81 (replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address you obtained above). You should see the PetClinic application running.

Make sure the application is working correctly by visiting the All Owners (1) and Veterinarians (2) tabs, you should get a list of names in each case.
