Container monitoring is a crucial practice for understanding the complex infrastructure of container deployments. Rapid software deployment often involves constant change, with frequent new releases and patches. This increases the possibility of incidents that can prevent businesses from leveraging container technology efficiently due to the complex nature of containerized application environments. To address these challenges, container monitoring solutions are used to proactively manage container environments, enhance visibility, and ensure seamless performance by identifying and resolving potential issues.
Applications Manager delivers comprehensive container monitoring, by marrying critical metrics, alerts, and visualizations into a single, intuitive console. Proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact your applications, ensuring optimal performance and uptime. Our customizable dashboards provide a holistic overview of key performance indicators, empowering you to effectively monitor, troubleshoot, and safely implement changes across your entire container environment.
Monitor container application system without reservation using Applications Manager. Our container monitoring tool enables you to monitor container performance metrics, and presents a consolidated view of the clusters and nodes in your IT environment.

Feature | Description |
---|---|
Real-time performance insights | Monitor critical metrics (CPU utilization, memory consumption, network throughput, disk I/O operations) across all containers in real time. Real-time data streams provide a dynamic view of container behavior, which empowers rapid responses to performance decline. This enables immediate identification of performance bottlenecks, resource contention, and potential issues. |
Dynamic container discovery | To maintain comprehensive observability in dynamic container environments, including those managed by Kubernetes, our solution automatically detects and initiates monitoring for newly deployed containers, thereby mitigating the need for manual configuration. |
Tailored monitoring dashboards | Create customizable dashboards to visualize the specific metrics that matter most to your operations. Dashboards can be tailored to specific roles, teams, or applications, providing relevant insights at a glance. |
Proactive alerting and notifications | Configure custom thresholds and receive immediate alerts via email, SMS, or other channels when performance anomalies occur. Alerts can be configured to trigger based on specific metric values, trends, or anomalies. This allows for proactive fault resolution that results in reduced MTTI and MTTR and increased application availability. |
Seamless orchestration and cloud integration | Easily integrate with leading orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm) and cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP). By integrating, data silos is eliminated which facilitates consistent monitoring across hybrid and multi-cloud environments and provides a unified view of container performance. |
Historical performance analysis | Analyze performance trends over time with detailed historical data for accurate forecasting. Historical data can be used to identify patterns, predict future resource needs, and optimize container deployments. |
Scalable monitoring infrastructure | Effortlessly monitor container environments of any size, from small deployments to large-scale infrastructures. The monitoring solution can scale horizontally to accommodate growing container environments, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. |
With Applications Manager's container performance monitoring system, monitor a comprehensive range of container performance metrics, including CPU utilization, memory consumption, network throughput, disk I/O operations, and application responsiveness. This provides complete visibility into your container environment and empowers you to identify performance bottlenecks, resource contention, and potential issues before they impact end-users. Access to this detailed data enables you to make informed decisions and optimize your container deployments for maximum efficiency.
Implement proactive container management by creating and associating customizable thresholds to critical monitoring metrics. Upon threshold breaches, automated alarms and corrective actions are triggered, drastically reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) and minimizing application downtime. Applications Manager's robust container monitoring software goes beyond real-time data, collecting and aggregating performance metrics over extended periods. This historical data is then presented visually, providing clear, actionable insights for informed decision-making regarding container resource allocation, scaling, and optimization. Furthermore, leverage the power of machine learning-driven forecast reports to anticipate future utilization and performance trends. These predictive analytics, based on historical data patterns, enable proactive capacity planning, and ensures that your container infrastructure remains scalable and efficient in the face of evolving application demands.
Applications Manager provides comprehensive monitoring solutions for popular container platforms, to unify the metrics and eliminate data silos across different container platforms.
Docker's flexibility and scalability make it a crucial tool for modern application development. Applications Manager's Docker container monitoring tools track essential KPIs—response times, resource utilization, faults, and hardware performance—to proactively identify and address performance degradation. This ensures applications encapsulated in Docker containers maintain peak efficiency.
Kubernetes orchestration simplifies the deployment and scaling of containerized applications. Applications Manager offers a robust Kubernetes monitor that enables administrators to effectively manage the complex layers of distributed Kubernetes environments. This ensures consistent performance and availability across your Kubernetes clusters.
To leverage the full potential of Red Hat OpenShift's robust features, specialized monitoring is essential. Applications Manager simplifies OpenShift maintenance by providing detailed performance insights and automated alerts. This ensures consistently high application performance, minimizing downtime and optimizing resource utilization, crucial for complex OpenShift deployments.
The IT landscape, distributed in nature with its hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, demands seamless integration for effective container monitoring. Our Container Monitoring solution integrates effortlessly with your existing infrastructure. This ensures a unified, consistent monitoring experience across all platforms. We understand your environment's dynamic nature, and our tool adapts, providing necessary visibility and control.
Cloud platforms: Comprehensive support for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud deployments
Given the widespread adoption of cloud platforms, our solution supports AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud deployments. This ensures containerized application monitoring, regardless of host location. We collect and analyze metrics specific to each cloud provider, which allows a holistic view of container performance across environments. This prevents data silos and simplifies cross-cloud troubleshooting.
DevOps & CI/CD: Integration with DevOps pipeline for streamlined workflows
We recognize that monitoring should integrate with DevOps and CI/CD workflows. When monitoring becomes an integral part of CI/CD, it enables automated alerts and actions directly from deployments. This ensures application health throughout the lifecycle by triggering automated responses to performance issues and identifying potential problems during development, preventing bad code releases.
