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!
