In the background, the Sysdig agent lives on the hosts being monitored and collects the appropriate metrics and events. Out of the box, the agent reports on a wide variety of pre-defined metrics. Additional metrics and custom parameters are available via agent configuration files. For more information, see the Sysdig Agent Documentation.

Log into the Sysdig Monitor interface, and get started with the basics.
Operate and troubleshoot Kubernetes infrastructure easily with a curated and unified view of metrics, alerts, and events.
Dive into Sysdig Monitor with a deeper understanding of the Explore module, data aggregation, and how to break down data.
The backbone of monitoring: learn more about metrics, integrate external platforms, and explore the complete metrics dictionary.
Learn how to build alerts to notify users of infrastructure events, changes in behavior, and unauthorized access.
Learn how to build a custom dashboard, configure the default ones, or reconfigure panels to best suit your infrastructure.
Integrate with various inbound and outbound data sources ranging from a number of platforms and orchestrators to a wide range of applications.
Integrate Docker and Kubernetes events, customize event notifications, and review infrastructure history.
Create capture files containing system calls and other OS events to assist monitoring and troubleshooting the infrastructure.
Sysdig Monitor allows you to maximize the visibility of your Kubernetes environments with native Prometheus support. You can troubleshoot issues faster with Sysdig’s eBPF derived metrics, out-of-the-box dashboards, and alerts.
Advisor brings your metrics, alerts, and events into a focused and curated view to help you operate and troubleshoot Kubernetes infrastructure.
Metrics are quantitative values or measures that can be grouped/divided by labels.
Sysdig users can create customized dashboards to display the most useful or relevant views and metrics for the infrastructure in a single location.
Alert is the responsive component of Sysdig Monitor. Alerts notify you when an event or issue occurs that requires attention. Events and issues are identified based on changes in the metric values collected by Sysdig Monitor. The Alerts module displays out-of-the-box alerts and a wizard for creating and editing alerts as needed.
An event represents a change of state of an object in a monitored environment. An event indicates an operational change, an exception, or an performance issue.
Integrations for Sysdig Monitor include a number of platforms, orchestrators, and a wide range of applications designed to extend Monitor capabilities and collect metrics from these systems. Sysdig collects metrics from Prometheus, JMX, StatsD, Kubernetes, and a number of applications to provide a 360-degree view of your infrastructure. Many metrics are collected out of the box; you can also extend the integration or create custom metrics to receive curated insights into your infrastructure stack.
Sysdig capture files contain system calls and other OS events that can be analyzed with either the open-source sysdig or csysdig (curses-based) utilities, and are displayed in the Captures module.
