kubectl proxy # proxy to your kubernetes dashboard
helm repo list
# If using helm v3, the stable repository is not set, so you need to manually add it.
helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
# Create a monitoring namespace for your cluster
kubectl create namespace monitoring
helm --namespace monitoring install prometheus stable/prometheus
kubectl -n monitoring get pods # look for 'server'
kubectl port-forward -n monitoring <PROMETHEUS_SERVER_ID> 9090
# You can now see your prometheus server on: http://localhost:9090
# Make sure you are in folder `deployment/`
kubectl apply -f monitoring/grafana/config.yml
helm --namespace monitoring install grafana stable/grafana -f monitoring/grafana/values.yml
# Get the admin password for grafana from your kubernetes dashboard.
kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward <POD_NAME> 3000
# You can now see your grafana dashboard on: http://localhost:3000
# Login with user 'admin' and the password you just looked up.
# In your dashboard import this dashboard:
# https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/1860
# Enter ID 180 and choose "Prometheus" as datasource.
# You got metrics!
Now you should see something like this:
When you just installed prometheus and grafana, the data will not be available immediately, so wait for a couple of minutes and reload.
You can set up a grafana dashboard, by visiting , finding one that is suitable and copying it's id. You then go to the left hand menu in localhost, choose Dashboard > Manage > Import Paste in the id, click Load, select Prometheus for the data source, and click Import
