- A [**full metrics pipeline**](#full-metrics-pipelines), such as Prometheus, gives you access to richer
metrics. In addition, Kubernetes can respond to these metrics by automatically
scaling or adapting the cluster based on its current state, using mechanisms
such as the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. The monitoring pipeline fetches
metrics from the Kubelet, and then exposes them to Kubernetes via an adapter
by implementing either the `custom.metrics.k8s.io` or
`external.metrics.k8s.io` API. See
[Full metrics pipeline](#full-metrics-pipelines) for more information about
some popular pipelines that implement these APIs and enable these
capabilities.

## Resource metrics pipeline
### Kubelet
The Kubelet acts as a bridge between the Kubernetes master and the nodes. It manages the pods and containers running on a machine. Kubelet translates each pod into its constituent containers and fetches individual container usage statistics from cAdvisor. It then exposes the aggregated pod resource usage statistics via a REST API.

### Dynatrace Kubernetes monitoring
With [Dynatrace Kubernetes monitoring](https://www.dynatrace.com/technologies/cloud-and-microservices/kubernetes-monitoring/), you can monitor application and cluster health in highly-dynamic Kubernetes environments.
Dynatrace automatically discovers all containers running on Kubernetes and presents you with a real-time view of all the connections between your containerized processes, hosts, and cloud instances. Dynatrace includes root cause analysis and the ability to replay problems to see how they evolved over time.
