Prometheus discovers targets via Kubernetes endpoints objects, which are automatically

populated by Kubernetes services. Therefore Prometheus can
|

automatically find and pick up all services within a cluster. By
|

default there is a service for the Kubernetes API server. For other Kubernetes

core components to be monitored, headless services must be setup for them to be
|
||||
discovered by Prometheus as they may be deployed differently depending
|

on the cluster.
|
||||
## Monitoring Kubernetes
|
||||
|
||||
The manifests used here use the [Prometheus Operator](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator),
|
||||
which manages Prometheus servers and their configuration in a cluster. With a single command we can install
|
||||
|
||||
* The Operator itself
|
||||
* The Prometheus [node_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter)
|
||||
* [kube-state-metrics](https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics)
|
||||
* The [Prometheus specification](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/prometheus.md) based on which the Operator deploys a Prometheus setup
|
||||
* A Prometheus configuration covering monitoring of all Kubernetes core components and exporters
|
||||
* A default set of alerting rules on the cluster component's health
|
||||
* A Grafana instance serving dashboards on cluster metrics
|
||||
|
||||
Simply run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export KUBECONFIG=<path> # defaults to "~/.kube/config"
|
||||
hack/cluster-monitoring/deploy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After all pods are ready, you can reach:
|
||||
|
||||
* Prometheus UI on node port `30900`
|
||||
* Grafana on node port `30902`

|

|
||||
## Monitoring custom services
|
||||
|
||||
The example manifests in [/manifests/examples/example-app](/manifests/examples/example-app)
|
||||
deploy a fake service exposing Prometheus metrics. They additionally define a new Prometheus
|
||||
server and a [`ServiceMonitor`](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/service-monitor.md),
|
||||
which specifies how the example service should be monitored.
|
||||
The Prometheus Operator will deploy and configure the desired Prometheus instance and continiously
|
||||
manage its life cycle.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
hack/example-service-monitoring/deploy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After all pods are ready you can reach the Prometheus server on node port `30100` and observe
|
||||
how it monitors the service as specified.

## Dashboarding
|
||||
|
||||
The provided manifests deploy a Grafana instance serving dashboards provided via a ConfigMap.
|
||||
To modify, delete, or add dashboards, the `grafana-dashboards` ConfigMap must be modified.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, Grafana does not support serving dashboards from static files. Instead, the `grafana-watcher`
|
||||
sidecar container aims to emulate the behavior, by keeping the Grafana database always in sync
|
||||
with the provided ConfigMap. Hence, the Grafana pod is effectively stateless.
|
||||
This allows managing dashboards via `git` etc. and easily deploying them via CD pipelines.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, a separate Grafana opeartor will support gathering dashboards from multiple
|
||||
ConfigMaps based on label selection.
|
||||
|
||||
## Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
* Alertmanager Operator automatically handling HA clusters
|
||||
* Grafana Operator that dynamically discovers and deploys dashboards from ConfigMaps
|
||||
* KPM/Helm packages to easily provide production-ready cluster-monitoring setup (essentially contents of `hack/cluster-monitoring`)
|
||||
* Add meta-monitoring to default cluster monitoring setup
|
||||
* Build out the provided dashboards and alerts for cluster monitoring to have full coverage of all system aspects
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring other Cluster Components
|
||||
|
||||
Discovery of API servers and kubelets works the same across all clusters.
|
||||
Depending on a cluster's setup several other core components, such as etcd or the
|
||||
scheduler, may be deployed in different ways.
|
||||
The easiest integration point is for the cluster operator to provide headless services
|
||||
of all those components to provide a common interface of discovering them. With that
|
||||
setup they will automatically be discovered by the provided Prometheus configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
For the `kube-scheduler` and `kube-controller-manager` there are headless
|
||||
services prepared, simply add them to your running cluster:

## Monitoring custom services

a Prometheus server monitoring them.
