Container Monitoring
Atatus container monitoring provides real-time visibility into your containerized applications and microservices environments. Capturing and analyzing metrics, traces, and logs ensures the health and performance of your deployments.
Container Management Challenges
Without proper container monitoring, teams face these critical operational challenges:
Container Sprawl and Visibility Loss
As containers scale horizontally, tracking which containers are running, where they're deployed, and their health status becomes increasingly difficult without proper monitoring.
"As a DevOps engineer, I struggle to maintain visibility across hundreds of ephemeral containers, making it hard to detect issues before they impact users."
Resource Contention and Throttling
Containers competing for CPU, memory, and I/O resources cause unpredictable performance degradation. Without per-container metrics, identifying the culprit is nearly impossible.
"As a platform engineer, I spend hours troubleshooting slow applications because I can't see which containers are consuming excessive resources."
Container Crashes and Restarts
Containers fail and restart automatically, but without proper logging and monitoring, the root cause of crashes remains a mystery, leading to recurring issues.
"As a site reliability engineer, I discover container crashes only after users report problems, with no insight into what caused the failure."
Network Communication Issues
Microservices running in containers communicate over complex overlay networks. Network latency, connection failures, and DNS issues are hard to diagnose without container-level network monitoring.
"As a developer, I can't determine if API timeouts are caused by my code or inter-container network problems."
Image Vulnerabilities and Compliance
Outdated base images and vulnerable dependencies in containers pose security risks. Without continuous scanning and monitoring, production containers run with unpatched vulnerabilities.
"As a security engineer, I lack visibility into which container images are running in production and whether they contain known vulnerabilities."
Storage and Volume Management Gaps
Container storage volumes filling up unexpectedly, causing application failures with no alerts or visibility into disk usage patterns across containers.
"As a platform engineer, containers crash due to disk space issues, but we have no monitoring of volume usage or early warnings before storage is exhausted."
