In Anodot, you can find our unique solution that helps track Kubernetes costs and usage up to the pod level, better understand them, and easily identify wasted spend.
To unlock the full potential of your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), follow the steps below:
Connecting your clusters to Anodot:
Ensure that the project that the clusters are associated with is connected in Anodot:
- Navigate to Account > Projects page. If the project status is connected, move to the next step. If not, you can find guidance on how to connect them here.
- For each cluster, make sure that you enabled the "cloud Monitoring' feature on GCP:
Adding your GKE Labels:
Provide additional metadata and labels for a more comprehensive view of your K8s clusters.
Follow GCP documentation to create a labelling table: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/cluster-usage-metering#create-dataset
Keep the following in mind:
- You can only export data to a BigQuery dataset in the same project as your cluster.
- Upon completing GCP instructions, send the following information to Anodot support:
- Project ID
- GKE dataset name
- Big Query table name (for validation) - Anodot cost supports only one data set configuration per GCP account.
