* Stop mapping node labels to targets discovered via Kubernetes
nodes (e.g. etcd, kubelet, cadvisor). It is rarely useful to
store node labels (e.g. kubernetes.io/os=linux) on these metrics
* kube-apiserver's apiserver_request_duration_seconds_bucket metric
has a high cardinality that includes labels for the API group, verb,
scope, resource, and component for each object type, including for
each CRD. This one metric has ~10k time series in a typical cluster
(btw 10-40% of total)
* Removing the apiserver request duration outright would make latency
alerts a NoOp and break a Grafana apiserver panel. Instead, drop series
that have a "group" label. Effectively, only request durations for
core Kubernetes APIs will be kept (e.g. cardinality won't grow with
each CRD added). This reduces the metric to ~2k unique series
* kubernetes-mixin pod resource dashboards were split into
two ConfigMap parts because they provide richer networking
details
* New dashboards have been used by the author at the global
level, but were missing in the per-cluster Grafana tracked
here
* Add Prometheus alerts from node-exporter
* Add Grafana dashboard nodes.json, from node-exporter
* Not adding recording rules, since those are only used
by some node-exporter USE dashboards not being included
* Add default 10s refresh rate to custom dashboards to match
those from Kubernetes
* Show labels for "instance" as "pod" for clarity
* Add cluster filter for internal use
* Without the prometheus.io/port annotation, Prometheus
service discovery can scrape other Prometheus ports that
may be available.
* For example, Prometheus sidecars (not included) may
be scraped and that may be unintended
* addon-resizer is outdated and has been dropped from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
