What is Murre?

Murre is an on-demand, scaleable source of container resource metrics for K8s.

Murre fetchs CPU & memory resource metrics directly from the kubelet on each K8s Node. Murre also enriches the resources with the relevant K8s requests and limits from each PodSpec.

Why Murre?

Murre is a simple, stateless and minimilistic approach to K8s resource monitoring that works at any scale. Murre is free of any third-party dependencies, requiring nothing to be installed on the cluster.

Installing Murre

go install github.com/groundcover-com/murre@latest
