Implement Kube Prometheus Stack for Enhanced Kubernetes Monitoring
Okm165 opened this issue · comments
Description
To enhance our Kubernetes cluster's observability and responsiveness, we aim to implement the Kube Prometheus Stack. This addition will offer a robust solution to monitor Kubernetes logs and provide insightful visualization of key metrics, leading to improved incident detection and overall system performance.
Features to Implement:
Prometheus Operator:
- Provision the Prometheus Operator, streamlining the deployment and configuration of Prometheus, Alertmanager, and other monitoring components.
- Set up the operator with the necessary RBAC permissions for seamless operations.
Service Monitors:
- Deploy ServiceMonitors to enable automatic service discovery and monitoring within the cluster.
- Configure ServiceMonitors to effectively scrape relevant metrics from our applications and services.
Grafana Integration:
- Integrate Grafana to visualize the metrics being collected by Prometheus.
- Create or import dashboards specifically designed for Kubernetes monitoring.
Alertmanager Configuration:
- Set up and configure Alertmanager to manage and route alerts generated by Prometheus.
- Ensure Alertmanager is integrated with external channels such as Slack, PagerDuty, or email for real-time alert notifications.
Acceptance Criteria
- Prometheus is actively and correctly scraping metrics from all targeted services in the Kubernetes cluster.
- Grafana showcases updated dashboards that reflect real-time metrics.
- Alertmanager effectively triggers and sends alerts to the designated channels when predefined thresholds are crossed.
Additional Notes
- It's imperative to secure monitoring endpoints, with Grafana being a priority, using proper authentication measures.
- Configuration files and dashboards should be backed up regularly to guarantee data safety and quick recoverability.
- The monitoring setup should be periodically reviewed and updated to stay aligned with the Kubernetes environment's changes and advancements.
