I am running a kubernetes cluster with heapster and prometheus service. I want to measure each container and pods start and end time but i could not find such statistics in prometheus.
I want to get these statistics through some api.
Does anyone know how can I get it ?
Actually I was able to measure up the container start time using the heapster events for a pod. For each container, inside the pod heapster captures the events, from this I was able to at least get containerCreated and ContainerStart timestamp.
The kube-state-metrics job exports various Kubernetes API relates stats for Prometheus, including in kube_pod_info the Pod start time:
