Overview
You can monitor Contrail the same way you monitor other Kubernetes components, using kubectl, Lens, or any other standard Kubernetes tool.
You can also install the optional Contrail Analytics package, which packages Prometheus, Grafana, Fluentd, and other popular open source software together with Contrail telemetry exporters to provide you with insight into the general health, performance, and traffic trends of the network.
Additionally, we provide a kubectl plug-in that you can invoke to check the status of Contrail components. The contrailstatus plug-in allows you to query the Contrail configuration, control, and data plane components as well as BGP and XMPP relationships.
