Metrics from

Metrics from

Use metrics data from another workload.

Description

The metrics-from annotation configures a workload to use metrics data from another workload when Optimize Live generates recommendations. This is useful when one workload replicates another, or when metrics are centralized in a single workload.

Specify the path to the source workload using the following format:

<cluster>/<namespace>/<resource-type>/<workload>

You can also use templating to reference values from the current workload:

{{ .Cluster }}/{{ .Namespace }}/{{ .Resource }}/{{ .Name }}

For more information about configuring workloads with annotations, see Configure workloads.

Examples

• Provide a direct path to another workload:

  "<cluster>/<namespace>/<resource-type>/<workload>"
  

• Use templating to reference a related workload in the same namespace, in this example by appending -primary to the current workload name:

  '{{ .Cluster }}/{{ .Namespace }}/{{ .Resource }}/{{ .Name }}-primary'
  

• Reference a workload in a different cluster and namespace with the same resource and name:

  '<cluster>/<namespace>/{{ .Resource }}/{{ .Name }}'
