For workloads monitoring in kubernetes cluster we will have [VictoriaMetrics Operator](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/VictoriaMetrics-Operator.html). It enables us to define scrape jobs using kubernetes CRDs [VMServiceScrape](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/design.html#vmservicescrape), [VMPodScrape](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/design.html#vmpodscrape). To add alerts or recording rules for workloads we can use [VMRule](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/design.html#vmrule) CRD
-## Installation
+## Overview
In this guide we will be using [victoria-metrics-k8s-stack](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack) helm chart
This chart will install `VMOperator`, `VMAgent`, `NodeExporter`, `kube-state-metrics`, `grafana` and some service scrape configurations to start monitoring kuberentes cluster components
-### Prerequisites
+## Prerequisites
- Active Managed VictoriaMetrics instance. You can learn how to signup for Managed VictoriaMetrics [here](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/managed-victoriametrics/quickstart.html#how-to-register).
- Access to your kubernetes cluster
-- Helm binary. You can find installation [here]https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/()
+- Helm binary. You can find installation [here](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
-### Installation steps
+## Installation steps
Install the Helm chart in a custom namespace
-
-1. Create a unique Kubernetes namespace, for example monitoring
-```
-kubectl create namespace monitoring
-```
-
+1. Create a unique Kubernetes namespace, for example `monitoring`
+
+ ```bash
+ kubectl create namespace monitoring
+ ```
+
2. Create kubernetes-secrets with token to access your dbaas deployment
-
-```
-kubectl --namespace monitoring create secret generic dbaas-write-access-token --from-literal=bearerToken=your-token
-
-kubectl --namespace monitoring create secret generic dbaas-read-access-token --from-literal=bearerToken=your-token
-```
-
-> You can find your access token on the "Access" tab of your deployment
-
-
-
-
+
+ ```bash
+ kubectl --namespace monitoring create secret generic dbaas-write-access-token --from-literal=bearerToken=your-token
+ kubectl --namespace monitoring create secret generic dbaas-read-access-token --from-literal=bearerToken=your-token
+ ```
+
+ You can find your access token on the "Access" tab of your deployment
+
3. Set up a Helm repository using the following commands:
-```
-helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
-helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
-helm repo add vm https://victoriametrics.github.io/helm-charts
-helm repo update
-```
-
+
+ ```bash
+ helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
+ helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
+ helm repo add vm https://victoriametrics.github.io/helm-charts
+ helm repo update
+ ```
+
4. Create a YAML file of Helm values called dbaas.yaml with following content
-```yaml
-externalVM:
- read:
- url:
- bearerTokenSecret:
- name: dbaas-write-access-token
- key: bearerToken
- write:
- url:
- bearerTokenSecret:
- name: dbaas-read-access-token
- key: bearerToken
+

+ read:
+ url:
+ bearerTokenSecret:
+ name: dbaas-write-access-token
+ key: bearerToken
+ write:
+ url:

+
5. Install VictoriaMetrics-k8s-stack helm chart
+
+ ```bash
+ helm --namespace monitoring install vm vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -f dbaas.yaml -n monitoring
+ ```
+
-```
-helm --namespace monitoring install vm vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -f dbaas.yaml -n monitoring
-```
+## Connect grafana
-### Connect to grafana and create your datasource
+Connect to grafana and create your datasource
> If you are using external grafana, you can skip steps 1-3 and you will need to import dashboards that can be found here manually
-
1. Get grafana password
-```
-kubectl --namespace monitoring get secret vm-grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 -d
-```
+
+ ```bash
+ kubectl --namespace monitoring get secret vm-grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 -d
+ ```
+
2. Connect to grafana
-```
-kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward service/vm-grafana 3000:80
-```
-3. Open grafana in your browser http://localhost:3000/datasources
+
+ ```bash
+ kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward service/vm-grafana 3000:80
+ ```
+
+3. Open grafana in your browser [http://localhost:3000/datasources](http://localhost:3000/datasources)
Use admin as username and password from previous step
-
4. Click on add datasource
-
Choose VictoriaMetrics or Prometheus as datasource type. Make sure you made this datasource as default for dashboards to work.
