make watch

make watch is an ad-hoc monitoring tool that checks whether the management cluster and the workload cluster are operational.

It’s main use-case is to monitor the bootstrapping of new clusters.

It is not a replacement for a professional monitoring solution.

If there is an error, then make watch will show it (❌).

Please create a Github Issue if make watch does not detect an error.

When the cluster starts some errors are common.

For example it will take up to 22 minutes until the ssh port of the first control plane is reachable.

Here a screenshot, six minutes after the Cluster and MachineDeployment manifests got applied to the management-cluster.
