* addon-resizer is outdated and has been dropped from
kube-state-metrics examples. Those using it should look
to the cluster-proportional-vertical-autoscaler.
* Eliminate addon-resizer log spew
* Remove associated Role and RoleBinding
* Also fix kube-state-metrics readinessProbe port
* Update Prometheus rules/alerts and Grafana dashboards
* Remove dashboards that were moved to node-exporter, they
may be added back later if valuable
* Remove kube-prometheus based rules/alerts (ClockSkew alert)
* Prometheus was configured to use kubernetes discovery
of etcd targets based on nodes matching the node label
node-role.kubernetes.io/controller=true
* Kubernetes v1.16 stopped permitting node role labels
node-role.kubernetes.io/* so Typhoon renamed these labels
(no longer any association with roles) to
node.kubermetes.io/controller=true
* As a result, Prometheus didn't discover etcd targets,
etcd metrics were missing, etcd alerts were ineffective,
and the etcd Grafana dashboard was empty
* Introduced: https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/pull/543
* Drop `node-role.kubernetes.io/master` and
`node-role.kubernetes.io/node` node labels
* Kubelet (v1.16) now rejects the node labels used
in the kubectl get nodes ROLES output
* https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/75457
* Use unique dashboard ID so that multiple replicas of Grafana
serve dashboards with uniform paths
* Fix issue where refreshing a dashboard served by one replica
could show a 404 unless the request went to the same replica
* Add a CoreDNS dashboard originally based on an upstream dashboard,
but now customized according to preferences
* Add an Nginx Ingress Controller based on an upstream dashboard,
but customized according to preferences
* This reverts commit 6e5d66cf66
* kube-state-metrics v1.6.0-rc.0 fires KubeDeploymentReplicasMismatch
alerts where its own Deployment doesn't have replicas available,
(kube_deployment_status_replicas_available) even though all replicas
are available according to kubectl inspection
* This problem was present even with the CSR ClusterRole fix
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/pull/717)
* Refresh rules and dashboards from upstreams
* Add new Kubernetes "workload" dashboards
* View pods in a workload (deployment/daemonset/statefulset)
* View workloads in a namespace
* Allow traffic from Grafana to Prometheus in monitoring
* Allow traffic from Prometheus to Prometheus in monitoring
* NetworkPolicy denies non-whitelisted traffic. Define policy
to allow other access
* Set resource requests and limits for Grafana and CLUO
* Set resource requests for Prometheus, but allow usage
to grow since needs vary widely
* Leave nginx without resource requests/limits for now,
its typically well behaved
* Heapster addon powers `kubectl top`
* In early Kubernetes, people legitimately used and expected
`kubectl top` to work, so the optional addon was provided
* Today the standards are different. Many better monitoring
tools exist, that are also less coupled to Kubernetes "kubectl
top" reliance on a non-core extensions means its not in-scope
for minimal Kubernetes clusters. No more exceptionalism
* Finally, Heapster isn't that useful anymore. Its manifests
have no need for Typhoon-specific modification
* Look to prior releases if you still wish to apply heapster
* Collate upstream rules, alerts, and dashboards and tune for use
in Typhoon
* Previously, a well-chosen (but older) set of rules, alerts, and
dashboards were maintained to reflect metric name changes
* Prometheus queries from some upstreams use joins of node-exporter
and kube-state-metrics metrics by (namespace,pod). Add the Kubernetes
pod name to service endpoint metrics
* Rename the kubernetes_namespace field to namespace
* Honor labels since kube-state-metrics already include a `pod` field
that should not be overridden
* Example manifests aim to provide a read-only dashboard visible
to any users with network access (i.e. kubectl port-forward, LAN)
* Problem: Grafana always has an admin user, even with the user
management system disabled
* Disable the login form to prevent admin login
* Kubelet uses a node's hostname as the node name, which isn't
resolvable on DigitalOcean. On DigitalOcean, the node name was
set to the internal IP until #337 switched to instead configuring
kube-apiserver to prefer the InternalIP for communication
* Explicitly configure etcd scrapes to target each controller by
internal IP and port 2381 (replace __address__)
* Heapster can now get nodes (i.e. kubelets) from the apiserver and
source metrics from the Kubelet authenticated API (10250) instead of
the Kubelet HTTP read-only API (10255)
* https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/blob/master/docs/source-configuration.md
* Use the heapster service account token via Kubelet bearer token
authn/authz.
* Permit Heapster to skip CA verification. The CA cert does not contain
IP SANs and cannot since nodes get random IPs that aren't known upfront.
Heapster obtains the node list from the apiserver, so the risk of
spoofing a node is limited. For the same reason, Prometheus scrapes
must skip CA verification for scraping Kubelet's provided by the apiserver.
* https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/v1.12.1/addons/prometheus/config.yaml#L68
* Create a heapster ClusterRole to work around the default Kubernetes
`system:heapster` ClusterRole lacking the proper GET `nodes/stats`
access. See https://github.com/kubernetes/heapster/issues/1936
* If using --enable-ssl-passthrough or exposing TCP/UDP services,
be aware of https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/pull/3038
* Workarounds until the fix merges are to stay on 0.17.1, use the
suggested development image, or revert to securityContext
`runAsNonRoot: false` for a while (less secure)
