I’m currently using SigNoz to monitor my Kubernetes cluster, and I’m trying to set up alerts for two specific pod conditions:

CrashLoopBackOff

ImagePullBackOff

I attempted using the following PromQL query for CrashLoopBackOff:

kube_pod_container_status_waiting_reason{reason="CrashLoopBackOff"} > 0

But it seems that the metric is not available in my setup. I also tried using

k8s.container.restarts

, but that led to a PromQL error (500 status) in the SigNoz alert builder.

Could you please guide me on:

Whether SigNoz supports alerting on these pod states out of the box?

What the recommended metrics and queries are for setting up such alerts?

Whether

kube-state-metrics

is required and how to integrate it with SigNoz properly?

Any assistance or reference documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.
