How do I create dashboards for Pod lifecycle in Prometheus?

To create dashboards for Pod lifecycle in Prometheus, it is essential to leverage the collected metrics from Kubernetes clusters. This involves using Grafana to visualize the data effectively and monitor various stages of a pod's lifecycle, such as Pending, Running, Succeeded, and Failed states. Below is an example of how you can set up a basic query and create visual representations of the Pod lifecycle metrics.

# Example Prometheus query to get the pod lifecycle status sum(kube_pod_status_phase) by (phase)

This query sums up the number of pods based on their current phase. You can then use Grafana to display this data in a pie chart or time series graph, allowing quick insights into the state of your pods.
