Requirement - New Relic monitoring for an application running in pods as part of a kubernetes cluster.
I have installed Kube-state-metrics on my cluster and able to see kubernetes dashboard using newrelic insights.
Also, need to configure the Application monitoring for the same. Following https://blog.newrelic.com/2017/11/27/monitoring-application-performance-in-kubernetes/ for the same.
Have some questions for the same -
Can this be achieved using kube-state-metrics ?
Do I need to have separate yaml file for each pod containing license key?
Do I need to make changes in my application also or adding the information in spec will work?
Do I need to install Java agent in every pod? If yes, will it eat resources?
Somehow, Installation of application monitoring is becoming complex. Please explain the exact requirement of installation
