Description

This Grafana dashboard monitors the Istio control plane (Pilot) health and performance, combining resource, runtime, and control-plane telemetry into a single view for operational troubleshooting. Key panels show container and process resource usage (memory via container_memory_working_set_bytes and go_memstats_*, CPU via container_cpu_usage_seconds_total), runtime metrics (go_goroutines, heap/stack/alloc/mallocs), and control-plane activity such as pilot_xds_pushes, connections, events, push errors/time/size, validation, and injection. Together these metrics help you detect memory leaks, goroutine or CPU spikes, XDS delivery issues, and config validation/injection failures quickly.
