Kubernetes metric expression

[sri L]

Hi all,

I am looking for metric expression for CPU usage of pod in percentage in kubernetes. I found following expression from the blog but the result is coming in seconds instead of percentage. Kindly suggest how we can get CPU utilization in percentage, Thanks

sum(rate(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total{name!~".*prometheus.*", image!="", container_name!="POD"}[5m])) by (pod_name, container_name) / sum(container_spec_cpu_quota{name!~".*prometheus.*", image!="", container_name!="POD"}/container_spec_cpu_period{name!~".*prometheus.*", image!="", container_name!="POD"}) by (pod_name, container_name)

rate(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total) is in cpu-seconds per second, or cpus.

container_spec_cpu_quota  /  container_spec_cpu_period is also in cpus.

Therefore the ratio is unitless, just a fraction.

To see it as a percentage, multiply by 100.
