Service Map for My application - Feature request

[DarwinVinoth]

How can I get the service map feature for my microservice hosted in the GKE cluster? 

How can I view that feature inside the GKE/GCP console? Any plan to support API for that feature?


Thanks, 
Vinoth K.

Hi DarwinVinoth,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

I agree that this is for feature requests and for the meantime, Istio + Kiali are the main tools that enable service maps in GKE.

When utilizing Istio as your service mesh in GKE, you can integrate it with Kiali, an observability tool designed to provide a visual representation of your service mesh. Kiali generates a service map that visualizes the communication between microservices within the mesh. The map depicts how services are connected, the flow of traffic, and can provide detailed insights into issues like errors, latency, and performance.

For feature requests, we encourage you to create a public issue tracker. However, please note that there's no guaranteed timeframe for resolving it. I also suggest keeping an eye on the GKE release notes.

I hope the information above is helpful.
