gke/BP/2021_001
GKE logging and monitoring enabled.
Product: Google Kubernetes Engine
Rule class: BP - Best practice, opinionated recommendation
Description
Disabling logging (SYSTEM, WORKLOADS) and monitoring (aka “GKE Cloud Operations”) impacts the ability to troubleshoot any issues that you might have.
If you are a Google Cloud Support customer, keeping logging (SYSTEM, WORKLOADS) and monitoring enabled is important even if you have your own monitoring solution, because otherwise the support team won’t have access to logs and monitoring data used for troubleshooting.
Remediation
Make sure that you enable Cloud Monitoring for SYSTEM metrics and Cloud Logging for SYSTEM and WORKLOADS logs.
