Metrics

Inspect Karpenter Metrics

Karpenter makes several metrics available in Prometheus format to allow monitoring cluster provisioning status. These metrics are available by default at karpenter.karpenter.svc.cluster.local:8000/metrics configurable via the METRICS_PORT environment variable documented here

karpenter_build_info

A metric with a constant ‘1’ value labeled by version from which karpenter was built.

Nodepool Metrics

karpenter_nodepool_usage

The nodepool usage is the amount of resources that have been provisioned by a particular nodepool. Labeled by nodepool name and resource type.

karpenter_nodepool_limit

The nodepool limits are the limits specified on the nodepool that restrict the quantity of resources provisioned. Labeled by nodepool name and resource type.

Nodes Metrics

karpenter_nodes_total_pod_requests

Node total pod requests are the resources requested by non-DaemonSet pods bound to nodes.

karpenter_nodes_total_pod_limits

Node total pod limits are the resources specified by non-DaemonSet pod limits.

karpenter_nodes_total_daemon_requests

Node total daemon requests are the resource requested by DaemonSet pods bound to nodes.

karpenter_nodes_total_daemon_limits

Node total daemon limits are the resources specified by DaemonSet pod limits.

karpenter_nodes_termination_time_seconds

karpenter_nodes_terminated

Number of nodes terminated in total by Karpenter. Labeled by owning nodepool.

Number of deleted leaked leases.

Number of nodes created in total by Karpenter. Labeled by owning nodepool.

karpenter_nodes_allocatable

Node allocatable are the resources allocatable by nodes.

Pods Metrics

karpenter_pods_state

Pod state is the current state of pods. This metric can be used several ways as it is labeled by the pod name, namespace, owner, node, nodepool name, zone, architecture, capacity type, instance type and pod phase.

karpenter_pods_startup_time_seconds

The time from pod creation until the pod is running.

Provisioner Metrics

karpenter_provisioner_scheduling_duration_seconds

Duration of scheduling process in seconds.

Nodeclaims Metrics

karpenter_nodeclaims_terminated

Number of nodeclaims terminated in total by Karpenter. Labeled by reason the nodeclaim was terminated and the owning nodepool.

karpenter_nodeclaims_registered

Number of nodeclaims registered in total by Karpenter. Labeled by the owning nodepool.

karpenter_nodeclaims_launched

Number of nodeclaims launched in total by Karpenter. Labeled by the owning nodepool.

karpenter_nodeclaims_initialized

Number of nodeclaims initialized in total by Karpenter. Labeled by the owning nodepool.

karpenter_nodeclaims_drifted

Number of nodeclaims drifted reasons in total by Karpenter. Labeled by drift type of the nodeclaim and the owning nodepool.

karpenter_nodeclaims_disrupted

Number of nodeclaims disrupted in total by Karpenter. Labeled by disruption type of the nodeclaim and the owning nodepool.

karpenter_nodeclaims_created

Number of nodeclaims created in total by Karpenter. Labeled by reason the nodeclaim was created and the owning nodepool.

Interruption Metrics

karpenter_interruption_received_messages

Count of messages received from the SQS queue. Broken down by message type and whether the message was actionable.

karpenter_interruption_message_latency_time_seconds

Length of time between message creation in queue and an action taken on the message by the controller.

karpenter_interruption_deleted_messages

Count of messages deleted from the SQS queue.

karpenter_interruption_actions_performed

Number of notification actions performed. Labeled by action

Disruption Metrics

karpenter_disruption_replacement_nodeclaim_initialized_seconds

Amount of time required for a replacement nodeclaim to become initialized.

karpenter_disruption_replacement_nodeclaim_failures_total

The number of times that Karpenter failed to launch a replacement node for disruption. Labeled by disruption method.

Number of times the Consolidation algorithm has reached a timeout. Labeled by consolidation type.

karpenter_disruption_budgets_allowed_disruptions

The number of nodes for a given NodePool that can be disrupted at a point in time. Labeled by NodePool. Note that allowed disruptions can change very rapidly, as new nodes may be created and others may be deleted at any point.
