Prometheus
During the registration process of a new worker cluster with the KubeSlice Controller using the KubeSlice Manager, it's important to note that the manager needs the Prometheus URL. Make note of the Prometheus URL for later use.
Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting tool that collects and stores metric information along with the timestamp. These metrics can be viewed using the KubeSlice Manager dashboard.
To view the metrics on the dashboard, Prometheus must be installed on the worker clusters. If you already have Prometheus installed, you can skip this step.
Install Prometheus
To install Prometheus from the helm repo:
Create the
monitoring
namespace using the following command:kubectl create ns monitoring
Install Prometheus using the following command:
helm install prometheus kubeslice/prometheus -n monitoring
Validate the Installation
Validate the installation of Prometheus by checking the status of the pods. Use the following command to check if the pods are running:
kubectl get pods -n monitoring
Example Output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
prometheus-kube-state-metrics-84bb75bf7d-lwvsw 1/1 Running 0 58s
prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter-2xzkq 1/1 Running 0 59s
prometheus-server-67849fdd9b-qh7pn 2/2 Running 0 59s
Get the Prometheus URL
Use the following command to get the external IP address of the cluster:
kubectl get nodes -o wide
Example Output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION INTERNAL-IP EXTERNAL-IP OS-IMAGE KERNEL-VERSION CONTAINER-RUNTIME
gke-stack-1-stack-1-main-pool-7b4ad25d-ppdg Ready <none> 60s v1.20.15-gke.5000 10.6.0.4 34.145.38.195 Container-Optimized OS from Google 5.4.170+ containerd://1.4.8
From the above output, get the external IP address of any one node.
For example, 34.145.38.195
is the external IP address of a node.
Use the following command to get the NodePort:
kubectl get svc -n monitoring | grep prometheus-server
Example Output
prometheus-server NodePort 34.145.38.195 <none> 80:32700/TCP 11m
The Prometheus URL is in the http://<ExternalNodeIp>:<port>
format.
For example, http://34.145.38.195:32700
is the Prometheus URL.
info
If the prefix http://
or https://
is not added for the Prometheus URL during the worker cluster registration,
then the default prefix http://
is applied to the Prometheus URL.
