Enabling Cluster Monitoring Declaratively in Akuity Platform

To enable monitoring for a specific cluster in the Akuity Platform, use the declarative approach by setting the multiClusterK8sDashboardEnabled field under the spec.data section of the Cluster resource definition.

This option enables cluster-level monitoring features such as metrics and dashboards for the specified cluster.

apiVersion: argocd.akuity.io/v1alpha1
kind: Cluster
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
  namespace: akuity
spec:
  data:
    appReplication: false
    autoUpgradeDisabled: false
    datadogAnnotationsEnabled: false
    eksAddonEnabled: false
    kustomization:
      apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
      kind: Kustomization
      patches:
      - patch: |
          apiVersion: apps/v1
          ...
    multiClusterK8sDashboardEnabled: true  # Enables monitoring
    redisTunneling: false
    size: small
    targetVersion: 0.5.58

Once this manifest is applied, monitoring is activated for the specified cluster via the multi-cluster Kubernetes dashboard integration.

For further kustomization, consider reviewing the cluster specification documentation on the Akuity Docs site.
