Kubernetes Services

Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > Kubernetes Services

The Kubernetes Services table provides comprehensive information about Kubernetes services monitored by Datadog across your clusters. Each row represents a Kubernetes service and includes metadata about annotations, labels, service type (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, ExternalName), cluster IP, external IPs, external name for ExternalName services, external traffic policy (Cluster, Local), health check node ports, load balancer configuration (IP, source ranges), port configurations, pod selectors, session affinity settings (None, ClientIP), and whether not-ready endpoints should be published. This table enables you to monitor service discovery and networking, track load balancer configurations and external access points, analyze service-to-pod mappings via selectors, troubleshoot connectivity issues, monitor session affinity for stateful applications, and correlate service definitions with traffic patterns. You can filter and view resources by kube_service tag in Datadog. Services provide stable networking endpoints for accessing groups of pods, abstracting away pod IP changes and enabling load balancing.
