Kubernetes Monitoring Helm Chart
This Helm chart deploys the components needed for full stack monitoring.
What this chart is:
-
Collectors for metrics and logging
-
Distribution / Routing of metrics/logging
-
Data visualization
-
Ready for logging long term storag integration, in particular Loki
-
Ready for metrics long term storage integration
What this chart is not:
- A complete monitoring stack inclusive of long term storage.
Intentionally we have kept this helm chart to the monitoring components only. Keeping the monitoring components seperate from storage is advantageous. for all intents and purposes this helm chart is ephemeral.
This helm chart started off with components from multiple open-source projects. As such attribution is warrented, so head on over to thier projects and give them a star. Projects used to create the building blocks of this helm chart are
-
ceph mixin alerts/rules

Installation
This chart as the following dependencies:
These dependencies must be present before installing this chart. to install run the following commands:
git clone -b development https://gitlab.com/nofusscomputing/projects/kubernetes_monitoring.git
helm upgrade -i nfc_monitoring kubernetes_monitoring/
Metrics Storage
There are two different ways that this chart porvides to route your metrics to long-term storage.
-
Prometheus
remote_write
-
Thanos Side Car container
Prometheus Remote Write
Using this method will have prometheus pushing it's metrics to another service to store its metrics. This option for example could be used to push metrics to Grafana Mimir. To configure add the following to the values.yaml file at path nfc_monitoring.prometheus.additional
:
Ensure that you set the url to the correct url.
Thanos Side Car
This method will have a Thanos container deployed within the prometheus pod. This container will then read and upload the Prometheus containers tsdb to the configured storage. To configure add the following to the values.yaml
-
monitoring.thanos.sidecar.enabled
set to booltrue
-
nfc_monitoring.thanos.sidecar.config
updated to include the sidecar config.For example to configure the Thanos sideCar to upload Prometheus metrics to S3 storage use (updating values to suit your environment):
Template Values
The values file included in this helm chart is below.
Note
This values file is from the development branch and as such may not reflect the current version you have deployed. If you require a specific version, head on over to the git repository and select the git tag that matches the version you are after.
