Monitoring

etcd monitoring dashboards, metrics, and alert rules.

Dashboards

ETCD module provides one monitoring dashboard: Etcd Overview.

ETCD Overview Dashboard

ETCD Overview: Overview of ETCD cluster

Dashboard provides key ETCD status info. Notable: ETCD Aliveness—shows overall etcd cluster service status.

Red bands = instance downtime; blue-gray below = cluster unavailable.
