What Observability Tools Are Compatible with Vultr Kubernetes Engine?

Updated on 20 November, 2025

A guide to compatible observability and monitoring tools for tracking performance and health in Vultr Kubernetes Engine deployments


Vultr Kubernetes Engine (VKE) supports standard open-source observability and monitoring tools, providing complete visibility into application performance, cluster health, and resource usage. Commonly used stacks include:

  • Prometheus: Collects metrics from nodes, pods, and applications in real time, allowing you to define alerts, track resource utilization, and monitor system performance.
  • Grafana: Provides rich dashboards and visualization for metrics collected via Prometheus or other data sources, enabling easy interpretation of cluster and application health.
  • OpenTelemetry: Captures distributed traces and telemetry data across applications, helping developers analyze latency, errors, and dependencies in complex microservices environments.

These tools can be deployed directly on VKE clusters, providing a comprehensive observability solution for both workloads and the underlying infrastructure.
