Kubernetes Prometheus Monitoring: Metrics, Scrape and Installation with Helm

Monitoring is crucial whether you are experimenting or using the production-based cluster. But it is no easy task if you want a human to do it as many pieces make a production-grade environment.

But then Kubernetes has it all, right? Well, yes and no! Yes, because it offers an official Kubernetes Dashboard. However, it’s not a complete solution for managing a cluster and also the K8s environment.

Kubernetes Dashboard The K8s Dashboard is an official Web UI provided by the Kubernetes to deploy applications, troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters, and manage resources. So, all-in-all you can use a Dashboard to get an overview of applications running on your cluster.

The Dashboard is not optimal when used with a complex system environment. And, it is not advisable to use the Dashboard as it lacks a lot of features. Need not worry, and we got Prometheus and Grafna to the rescue.

Prometheus – Prometheus is an open-source tool used for metrics-based monitoring and alerting.

Grafana – Grafana is a leading open-source monitoring and analytics platform that works with every database.

The devil is in the details indeed. We know you are interested.
