Kubernetes supports a number of logging and monitoring tools out-of-the-box. These tools are capable of providing basic information and can be customized to the user’s needs. However, for more complex operations, it is worth considering third-party monitoring tools.

This 11-page study сompares three open-source monitoring tools: Kube-prometheus, Elastic, and Zabbix across five criteria:

installation

alerting

ease of customization

ease of maintenance

user interface

The results of the comparative analysis are supported by five figures, five comparative tables, and four code samples.
