What it is

Sysdig Monitor is a paid monitoring service for distributed production environments. It combines process-level visibility with troubleshooting, alerting, and cost optimization for containers, Kubernetes, Prometheus, cloud services, cloud instances, and serverless resources. Kubernetes views show health and performance, prioritized issues, pod details, live logs, and remediation steps. Its managed Prometheus service offers a scalable data store, automatic service discovery, assisted integration deployment, PromQL support, and Grafana dashboards. Teams can customize dashboards and configure alerts for alert-management systems. Cost analysis uses Kubernetes resource utilization, built-in cost data, and custom metrics. The Sysdig agent gathers predefined host metrics and events and can be extended through configuration files plus monitoring and cloud integrations. Listed integrations cover Apache, Cassandra, Kafka, MySQL, PostgreSQL, AWS, Azure, and Grafana. Security descriptions include audit logging, role-based access, authentication and authorization, agent security, and encryption in transit and at rest. Pricing is on request under host-based or time-series licensing. Platforms are API, Linux, self-hosted, and web.
