How do we go about monitoring the cluster on the OpenShift origin? Some references around cockpit exists on the web, but seems it's only an option for OpenShift Enterprise. Can anyone please clarify if cockpit can be installed on OpenShift origin and used to monitor the services deployed? Also if the Cockpit is not an option for OpenShift Origin, which particular solution is recommended for monitoring OpenShift Origin?
Cockpit is available in a variety of distributions
See the Cockpit project here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html
That said, Cockpit does more to provide visibility one-host at a time. When Red Hat packages the Enterprise version of OpenShift they also include the equivalent of ManageIQ to provide more holistic visibility and reporting capability. Look at ManageIQ and "containers providers"
Finally, here's a link to a recent presentation on using ManageIQ for both OpenShift and Kubernetes management. I recall it had some practical examples for how to implement. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Managing%20Kubernetes%20with%20ManageIQ%20ContainerCon%20final.pdf
