Sysdig Monitor is a monitoring product for distributed production environments. It combines troubleshooting, alerting, and cost optimization with process-level visibility. For Kubernetes, it surfaces health and performance information, prioritized issues, pod details, live logs, and remediation steps. Teams can build customizable dashboards and configure alerts intended to connect with alert management systems. Its managed Prometheus service provides a scalable data store, automatic service discovery, and assisted integration deployment, with support for PromQL and Grafana dashboards. Cost analysis can draw on 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 and monitoring or cloud integrations. Listed integrations include Prometheus integrations for Apache, Cassandra, Kafka, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, AWS and Azure services, and Grafana. Sysdig positions Monitor for organizations working with containers, Kubernetes, Prometheus, cloud services, cloud instances, and serverless resources. It is available through API, Linux, self-hosted, and web options, and supports AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. Pricing is paid and available by quote, with host-based or time series-based licensing.
