Gathering Service Mesh Observability Metrics With Kuma

Kuma is an open-source control plane for service mesh. Kuma natively integrates with Prometheus for auto-service discovery and traffic metrics collection. We also integrate with Grafana dashboards for performance monitoring. The more services you have running across different clouds and Kubernetes clusters, the harder it is to ensure that you have a central place to collect service mesh observability metrics. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to set up and leverage the Traffic Metrics and Traffic Trace policies that Kuma provides.
