Can some one give ideas around how we can monitor AWX deployed with awx-operator in  
kubernetes. Especially some thing like below scenario

→ Where AWX jobs just spin for ever like status shows as waiting or pending.  
 → Postgres database gets filled up.  
 → Execution environments fail to start with CPU’s/pod’s dont get spin up.

Thanks,  
Rakesh Boinapally

Hi, were you able to find a good monitoring setup?

There are a few built-in ways to monitor AWX, using the api/v2/metrics endpoint [https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/4.2.0/html/administration/metrics.html](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/4.2.0/html/administration/metrics.html)

You can point a prometheus instance to scrape that endpoint, and maybe use grafana to display it nicely.

However, it doesn’t monitor database usage / disk usage. Maybe some tool exists to monitor a k8s persistent volume

Also, you may look at the job\_lifecycle logs (LOG\_AGGREGATOR\_LEVEL needs to be DEBUG to see these) which will show information about why a job is blocked/pending and why it is not entering running state
