Which alerts should I configure for Kubernetes networking with Grafana?

When configuring monitoring for Kubernetes networking with Grafana, it’s essential to set up alerts that can notify you about potential issues that may affect the performance and availability of your applications. Here are some key alerts to consider:

• High Latency Alerts: Set alerts for high response times on services to detect performance bottlenecks.
• Packet Loss Alerts: Monitor for increased packet loss which might indicate network problems.
• Unavailable Services Alerts: Watch for changes in the availability status of crucial services.
• Network Traffic Volume Alerts: Alert on abnormal increases or decreases in traffic volume to detect potential DDoS attacks or misconfigurations.
• Dropped Connections Alerts: Monitor for excessive dropped connections which could lead to application downtime.
• DNS Resolution Errors: Alert when there are issues with service DNS resolutions impacting service communication.
• Resource Utilization Alerts: Watch for high utilization of network resources (e.g., CPU, Memory) in Network Policies or Ingress Controllers.
