SaaS Management

Let the SaaS management plane handle 24/7 remote-monitoring for cluster health & auto-alert

As soon as a cluster is created, PMK’s SaaS management plane will auto-monitor it 24/7 for issues, so you don’t have to.

Prometheus & Grafana are automatically set up during your cluster deployment, providing cluster, node and pod metrics in a single view.

You also receive alarms & notifications for critical Kubernetes infrastructure issues
