Getting observability for your k8s clusters is extremely important. In TMC, you can enable Tanzu Observability easily. In this blog, I will show you how to do it in TMC UI.

Step 1: select a k8s cluster and select Tanzu Observability from Actions drop-down

Step 2: Add Tanzu Observability Integration by providing your Tanzu Observability credential (URL and API token)

Click CONFIRM button. After the provided credential is validated, you will see the below which means the integration was completed successfully.

Click the Tanzu Observability hyperlink, you will redirected to the Tanzu Observability. From now on, you will be able to use Tanzu Observability to monitor your TMC k8s cluster.

What happened in your k8s cluster❓

A new namespace and a few wavefront Pods, daemonset, replicaset and service are created
