Setting up Monitoring and Logging apps¶
After running k9 create cluster
there will be 3 standard apps deployed to every cluster. EFK, Prometheus, and Grafana. DNS routing must be done manually, see DNS Routing for information.
Logging In¶
The login information for Kibana and Prometheus will be placed inside of an AWS secret by k9. It will be named {{clusterName}}-monitoring-logins-secret
. The usernames and passwords for both sites will be labeled in the secret. If there are any values written as b'somecharacters'
then the actual values is between the quotations (somecharacters
in this case).
Grafana¶
After running k9 create cluster
there will be a few dashboards automatically added to grafana. A default notification channel is created named “Google Chat Alert”. Edit this notification channel’s Url to turn on alert notifications for your cluster. (Bell Icon on left sidebar > Notification channels > Google Chat Alert > Url). If you wish to use notifications for another service, create your new notification channel and then edit each alert to use that notification.
