Demystifying Monitoring and Debugging on Windows Containers - Mansi Kulkarni, Red Hat & Ritika Gupta, Independent
Tuesday April 1, 2025 15:55 - 16:20 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance S10 | Room C
Struggling to monitor and debug Windows containers on Kubernetes? You’re not alone!
Unlike Linux, managing Windows workloads often feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
With Kubernetes now supporting HostProcess containers on Windows nodes, a lot more monitoring and troubleshooting is now possible.
We’ll show you how to implement a complete monitoring stack using Windows Exporter on a Windows node in Kubernetes. We’ll start by exploring the metric collectors in Windows exporter, their functionalities, and practical use. Next, we’ll demonstrate deploying the Windows exporter as a HostProcess pod, configuring a ServiceMonitor, and setting up Prometheus to collect and visualize metrics.
Finally, we’ll elevate your debugging game by exploring the newly added kubectl debug support for Windows nodes, enabling you to diagnose and resolve issues faster at the node level. You'll be ready to troubleshoot Windows nodes in no time.
