VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated (TKGI), formerly known as Pivotal Container Service (PKS), is VMware's product used to deploy and manage open-source Kubernetes. The Kubernetes monitoring that Splunk AppDynamics provides has been tested to with TKGI. See Monitor Kubernetes with the Cluster Agent to set up container and cluster visibility within TKGI.

Splunk AppDynamics Application Performance Monitoring for VMware Tanzu

To simplify APM setup, the Application Performance Monitoring for VMware Tanzu tile delivers a service broker to support an Splunk AppDynamics marketplace service. You can configure the Controller parameters in the tile and automatically publish to the marketplace after you install the tile.
  1. To bind a TAS app to the marketplace service to consume the Controller credentials, enter:
    $ cf bind my-tas-app my-appd-marketplace-service
  2. To use the integrated Splunk AppDynamics buildpack support to start the APM Agent based on the parameters from the marketplace service, and start sending performance metrics to the Controller, perform a push:
    $ cf push
    The tile also installs the Splunk AppDynamics extension buildpack in the TAS environment. See the tile documentation for buildpack support and language-specific workflows to enable APM.
