Monitoring AWS EKS using Prometheus and Grafana

Prerequisites :

• eksctl
• kubectl
• aws cli
• helm

---

Creating an Amazon EKS Cluster using eksctl :

./eks.sh build

• this command will run :

    eksctl create cluster --name=eks-cluster \
        --region=ap-south-1 \
        --nodegroup-name=my-nodes \
        --node-type=t3.medium \
        --managed \
        --nodes=2 \
        --nodes-min=2 \
        --nodes-max=3

Add Helm Stable Charts for Your Local Client :

helm repo add stable https://charts.helm.sh/stable

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts

Install Prometheus using Helm :

helm install stable prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack -n prometheus

kubectl get svc -n prometheus

Expose Prometheus and Grafana to the external world :

• to attach the load balancer we need to change from ClusterIP to LoadBalancer command to get the svc file:

kubectl edit svc stable-kube-prometheus-sta-prometheus -n prometheus

kubectl edit svc stable-grafana -n prometheus

kubectl get svc -n prometheus stable-grafana

kubectl get secret --namespace prometheus stable-grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo

Clean up/Deprovision-Deleting the Cluster :

./eks.sh delete

• this command will run:

eksctl delete cluster --name eks-cluster
