Dash0 acquires Polar Signals
Gain full visibility into your Kubernetes systems with the Cilium Dashboards integration. Monitor performance and troubleshoot issues effectively.
Cilium is an open-source networking and security solution for Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. It leverages eBPF to provide high-performance networking, identity-aware security, and deep observability for modern microservices architectures.
This Dash0 integration enhances visibility over network traffic within Kubernetes clusters, ensuring secure and efficient communication between services.

Improve networking, security, and observability in your Kubernetes deployments with this integration:
Cilium Agent Metrics
Cilium Hubble Metrics
Cilium agent is not running
Alert triggers when Cilium agent is down.
Cilium API requests are being rate limited
Alert triggers when API rate limiting becomes frequent.
Cilium datapath connectivity problems detected
Alert triggers when nodes become unreachable via Cilium datapath.
High rate of packets dropped due to policy violations
Alert triggers when policy violations cause excessive packet drops.
Cilium endpoint regeneration is failing
Alert triggers when endpoint regeneration failures occur frequently.
High number of Cilium endpoints are regenerating
Alert triggers when too many endpoints are in regenerating state.
Cilium kvstore connectivity problems
Alert triggers when kvstore operations fail frequently.
Cilium policy enforcement failures detected
Alert triggers when policy changes fail frequently.
Cilium provides built-in observability features, allowing users to monitor networking, security, and performance metrics across Kubernetes workloads. These metrics cover:
For more details, refer to the Cilium Observability Documentation.
To enable metrics, install Cilium with the following Helm command:
This enables metrics for cilium-agent, cilium-operator, and Envoy (if enabled).
Hubble provides flow-level visibility, allowing insights into network traffic, policy decisions, and service communication.
To enable Hubble metrics:
