You can monitor Kubernetes metrics with Splunk Observability Cloud. Observability Cloud uses the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes to provide robust infrastructure monitoring capabilities. To learn more, see Get started with the Splunk Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector.
