With the release of Karpenter v1 we have stable Prometheus metrics, but the Grafana dashboards are not that great and there are no open source alerts. Therefore, I decided to create a monitoring-mixin that provides a set of Prometheus rules and Grafana dashboards for Karpenter. This blog post will introduce the kubernetes-autoscaling-mixin - a set of Prometheus rules and Grafana dashboards for Kubernetes autoscaling, but we will only write about Karpenter monitoring in this blog post.
