The Kubernetes DaemonSets table provides information about Kubernetes DaemonSets monitored by Datadog across your clusters.
Each row represents a Kubernetes DaemonSet and includes metadata about annotations, labels, pod selectors, minimum ready seconds, revision history limits, scheduling status across nodes (current, desired, available, ready, updated, misscheduled), status conditions, and lifecycle timestamps.
This table enables you to monitor DaemonSet rollout status, ensure daemon pods are running on all appropriate nodes, track misscheduled pods (running on nodes where they shouldn’t), verify update progress across the cluster, monitor availability and readiness of daemon pods, and troubleshoot node-level services. DaemonSets ensure that all (or specific) nodes run a copy of a pod, commonly used for cluster-wide services like log collectors, monitoring agents, or node-level storage daemons. The desired vs current scheduled counts help identify scheduling issues or node constraints.
