Discourse: https://discourse.sensu.io/search?q=kubernetes%20category%3A8
Introduction to kube monitoring concepts and let the other resources fill in the gaps vs. a proscriptive guide.
Start with a high-level overview to get a skeleton started and then review to discuss what's next.
How proscriptive should we be in terms of suggesting which check to use?
What pattern do we use? agent, sidecar, etc.
Mtg w/ Jef and Troy:
- Jef will experiment with the Kubernetes events check with some of the cloud services and add some notes based on his testing to #3292 .
