Data Collection & Security

We believe in complete transparency about the data we collect. We only gather metrics that help you understand and optimize your Kubernetes costs.

Read-Only Access

We only read metrics data. No write permissions, no modifications to your cluster.

No Sensitive Data

We don't collect logs, application data, or any sensitive information.

Standard Collectors

We use industry-standard tools: Prometheus, metrics-server, and OpenCost.

Collected Metrics

Here's a comprehensive list of all metrics we collect from your cluster:

Resource Metrics

Standard Kubernetes resource utilization metrics

Container CPU usage and rates
Container Memory usage and working sets
Network I/O receive and transmit bytes
Machine CPU cores and capacity
Node CPU usage and idle states
Node Memory total and available bytes
Node Storage size and available space
Container CPU/Memory 95th percentiles
Container volatility and stability scores

Cost Metrics

Infrastructure cost-related metrics via OpenCost

Node CPU hourly costs
Node RAM hourly costs
Node GPU hourly costs
Persistent Volume costs
Cluster management costs
Spot instance information and pricing

Kubernetes State

Cluster state and configuration metrics

Pod and container information
Node capacity and status
Deployment replicas desired and available
Volume claims and storage information
Resource requests and limits per container
Container status, restarts and states
Pod owners and relationships

Workload Controllers

Advanced Kubernetes workload controller metrics

StatefulSet metadata and replica counts
DaemonSet status and scheduling information
Job completion status and timing
CronJob suspension and scheduling status
ReplicaSet ownership relationships
HorizontalPodAutoscaler configurations

Performance Analytics

Advanced performance and optimization metrics

Container CPU and Memory maximum usage over time
Resource volatility ratios (max to average)
CPU stability scores and variation coefficients
95th percentile usage patterns
Pod data traffic ingress and egress rates
Time-based aggregations and trend analysis

Cluster Insights

Cluster-wide analysis and entity counting

Cluster entity counts (pods, nodes, deployments)
Namespace pod distribution
Cluster node count and total capacity
Container details with image information
Persistent volume capacity and storage requests
Node labels and metadata information

Technical Implementation

We collect metrics using standard Kubernetes monitoring tools:

Prometheus for time-series metrics collection
kube-state-metrics for Kubernetes object metrics
cAdvisor for container metrics
OpenCost for cost allocation metrics
Kubernetes API server for best practices analysis

You have full control over your data. You can stop metric collection at any time by removing our collector from your cluster.
