How to monitor LKE in Akamai Cloud

Site24x7 monitors your Akamai Cloud Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) cluster availability in real time, continuously tracking status and outage events so platform teams can respond to cluster disruptions before workloads and services are impacted.

Use cases

Here are some use cases for LKE monitoring:

Cluster health: The Summary tab shows the status and availability of your LKE clusters in real time, helping the platform and DevOps teams quickly detect when a cluster goes down and start recovery before workloads are affected.
Downtime visibility: Downtime count and duration provide a clear timeline of cluster outages, making it easier to connect issues to deployments, infrastructure changes, or node failures and identify the root cause.

Benefits of LKE in Akamai Cloud monitoring

Availability Insights: Track outage frequency and duration to uncover recurring issues linked to deployments or infrastructure changes.
SLA Validation: Measure uptime against service-level objectives with historical availability data across any reporting period.
Operational Readiness: Maintain a complete availability history for every cluster to simplify audits and post-incident analysis.

Setup and configuration

LKE resources are auto-discovered and monitored during the Akamai integration. To enable monitoring, follow the steps below:

Log in to Site24x7.
Navigate to Cloud > Akamai > Add Akamai Cloud Monitor. Follow the steps to add an Akamai monitor.
While adding or editing an Akamai monitor, select LKE from the Service/Resource Types drop-down and click Save.
Go to Cloud > Akamai Cloud, select the created Akamai monitor, and then click LKE.

Note

LKE will be discovered during the next discovery cycle as per the discovery frequency you selected during Akamai monitor creation.

Data collection frequency

Based on the configured poll interval, performance metrics of your Akamai LKE are collected every five minutes and are updated in the Site24x7 portal every five minutes by default.

Monitor data

The monitored data for LKE monitor is given below.

Summary

The Summary tab tracks the overall availability status of each LKE cluster along with downtime incidents, downtime duration, and SLA compliance, giving your team an at-a-glance picture of whether your Kubernetes control plane and associated services are running without interruption.

Outages

The Outages tab displays outage details, including start time, end time, duration, and related comments, to facilitate tracking and reviewing downtime events.

Notes

The Notes tab allows you to record descriptions, operational context, runbook steps, recent changes, or reference links to keep your team informed. Format content using Markdown syntax.

Log Reports

The Log Reports tab provides a unified view of the LKE monitor's log status and enables CSV report downloads for analysis and auditing.

Alert Logs

The Alert Logs tab presents a chronological list of alerts triggered by the LKE monitor, supporting alert history review, severity analysis, and threshold validation.
