Monitoring Kubernetes Cluster Using Grafana Cloud
Monitoring Kubernetes Cluster Using Grafana Cloud
Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana are a trio of technologies that have transformed
cloud native development. However, despite how powerful these three technologies are,
developers still face gaps in the process of implementing a mature Kubernetes
environment.
We all know that Kubernetes does not provide a native storage solution for logs.
Grafana Cloud is now able to fill that need and provides the full solution for
instrumenting out-of-the-box pod logs as well as metrics, alerting rules, and pre-built
dashboards. The 10k series of metrics and 50GB of logs included in it.
2. Connect your Kubernetes infrastructure with the Grafana Cloud. This means you
need to deploy the Grafana Agent to the cluster by using remote_write to forward
kube-state-metrics to Grafana Cloud. The following components will collect data
at the time of installation:
● Grafana Agent single-replica StatefulSet that will collect Prometheus metrics and
Kubernetes events from objects in your cluster.
● Kube-state-metrics Helm chart, which deploys a KSM deployment and service,
along with some other access control objects.
● Grafana Agent DaemonSet that will collect logs from pods in your cluster.
Once the Grafana Agent is deployed, data will start streaming to your Grafana Cloud
stack.
3. Configure your data. By default, Kubernetes Monitoring scrapes cAdvisor (1 per
node), kubelet (1 per node), and kube-state-metrics (1 replica by default)
endpoints at 60-second intervals
4. Once you get started with Kubernetes Monitoring in Grafana Cloud and begin to
visualize your Kubernetes logs, you will also have access to a host of other
useful features. The cluster navigation view is a navigable, nested cluster
interface that allows users to swiftly detect root cause issues with correlation
across metrics and logs, as well as relaying pod-specific Kubernetes events.
