# Kubernetes Monitoring

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrbS9LNHLAk>" %}

If you have a Kubernetes Cluster that you want to observe, look no further. Ddosify Observability allows you to monitor your Kubernetes Clusters with nearly zero manual effort. You only need to run our [open-source eBPF agent (Alaz)](https://github.com/ddosify/alaz) as a DaemonSet on your Kubernetes cluster. Ddosify will handle the rest of the work and [Service Map](https://docs.ddosify.com/ddosify/kubernetes-monitoring/service-map), [Metrics Dashboard](https://docs.ddosify.com/ddosify/kubernetes-monitoring/metrics) and [Distributed Tracing](https://docs.ddosify.com/ddosify/kubernetes-monitoring/distributed-tracing) will be available on Ddosify UI.&#x20;

### Service Map

Service Map allows you to view the interactions between the resources in your K8s Cluster. Here, you can take a look at the requests sent, their latency, RPS and many more. You can also filter them however you want to get the insights you require.

### Metrics

Metrics allow you to view statistics about your K8s instances such as CPU/Memory/Disk usage. You can also see their change over time and apply time filtering if you want to take a look at a specific time interval.

### Distributed Tracing

Distributed tracing allows you to trace the requests sent inside your cluster without needing any custom span generation or manual instrumentation. Here, you are able to view which requests triggered which ones and their durations alongside their call hierarchy.
