6.1. Starting monitoring

CodeReady Containers disables cluster monitoring by default to ensure that CodeReady Containers can run on a typical notebook. Monitoring is responsible for listing your cluster in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. Follow this procedure to enable monitoring for your cluster.

Prerequisites

  • You must assign additional memory to the CodeReady Containers instance. At least 14 GiB of memory, a value of 14336, is recommended for core functionality. Increased workloads will require more memory. For more information, see Configuring the instance.

Procedure

  1. Set the enable-cluster-monitoring configurable property to true:

    $ crc config set enable-cluster-monitoring true
  2. Start the instance:

    $ crc start
    Warning

    Cluster monitoring cannot be disabled. To remove monitoring, set the enable-cluster-monitoring configurable property to false and delete the existing CodeReady Containers instance.
