Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for a module executing on a Kubernetes node in a cluster. The method retrieves data regarding ongoing connections processed by a forwarding element executing on the node. The method maps the retrieved data to Kubernetes concepts implemented in the cluster. The method exports the retrieved data along with the Kubernetes concepts to an aggregator that receives data regarding ongoing connections from a plurality of nodes in the cluster.
