These links do not depend on the dashboard name, so they do not break after the renaming of the dashboard.

# Kubernetes monitoring via VictoriaMetrics Single
|
||
|
||
|
||
**This guide covers:**
|
||
|
||
* The setup of a [VictoriaMetrics Single](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html) in [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) via Helm charts
|
||
* How to scrape metrics from k8s components using service discovery
|
||
* How to visualize stored data
|
||
* How to store metrics in [VictoriaMetrics](https://victoriametrics.com) tsdb
|
||
|
||
**Precondition**
|
||
|
||
We will use:
|
||
* [Kubernetes cluster 1.19.9-gke.1900](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine)
|
||
> We use GKE cluster from [GCP](https://cloud.google.com/) but this guide is also applied on any Kubernetes cluster. For example [Amazon EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/ru/eks/).
|
||
* [Helm 3 ](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install)
|
||
* [kubectl 1.21](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl)
|

|
||
|
||
## 1. VictoriaMetrics Helm repository
|
||
|
||
> For this guide we will use Helm 3 but if you already use Helm 2 please see this [https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts#for-helm-v2](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts#for-helm-v2)
|
||
|
||
You need to add the VictoriaMetrics Helm repository to install VictoriaMetrics components. We’re going to use [VictoriaMetrics Single](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html). You can do this by running the following command:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
helm repo add vm https://victoriametrics.github.io/helm-charts/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
Update Helm repositories:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
helm repo update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
To verify that everything is set up correctly you may run this command:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
helm search repo vm/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
The expected output is:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
## 2. Install [VictoriaMetrics Single](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html) from Helm Chart
|
||
|
||
Run this command in your terminal:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">.html
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
helm install vmsingle vm/victoria-metrics-single -f https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/guide-vmsingle-values.yaml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Here is full file content `guide-vmsingle-values.yaml`

```
|
||
|

|

</div>
|
||
|
||
* By running `helm install vmsingle vm/victoria-metrics-single` we install [VictoriaMetrics Single](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html) to default [namespace](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces/) inside your cluster
|
||
* By adding `scrape: enable: true` we add and enable autodiscovery scraping from kubernetes cluster to [VictoriaMetrics Single](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html)
|
||
* On line 166 from [https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/guide-vmsingle-values.yaml](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/guide-vmsingle-values.yaml) we added `metric_relabel_configs` section that will help us to show Kubernetes metrics on Grafana dashboard.
|
||
|
||
|
||
As a result of the command you will see the following output:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
NAME: victoria-metrics
|
||
LAST DEPLOYED: Fri Jun 25 12:06:13 2021
|
||
NAMESPACE: default
|
||
STATUS: deployed
|
||
REVISION: 1
|
||
TEST SUITE: None
|
||
NOTES:
|
||
The VictoriaMetrics write api can be accessed via port 8428 on the following DNS name from within your cluster:
|
||
vmsingle-victoria-metrics-single-server.default.svc.cluster.local
|
||
|
||
|
||
Metrics Ingestion:
|
||
Get the Victoria Metrics service URL by running these commands in the same shell:
|
||
export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app=server" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
|
||
kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 8428
|
||
|
||
Write url inside the kubernetes cluster:
|
||
http://vmsingle-victoria-metrics-single-server.default.svc.cluster.local:8428/api/v1/write
|
||
|
||
Metrics Scrape:
|
||
Pull-based scrapes are enabled
|
||
Scrape config can be displayed by running this command::
|
||
kubectl get cm vmsingle-victoria-metrics-single-server-scrapeconfig -n default
|
||
|
||
The target’s information is accessible via api:
|
||
Inside cluster:
|
||
http://vmsingle-victoria-metrics-single-server.default.svc.cluster.local:8428/targets
|
||
Outside cluster:
|
||
You need to port-forward service (see instructions above) and call
|
||
http://<service-host-port>/targets
|
||
|
||
Read Data:
|
||
The following url can be used as the datasource url in Grafana::
|
||
http://vmsingle-victoria-metrics-single-server.default.svc.cluster.local:8428
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For us it’s important to remember the url for the datasource (copy lines from output).
|
||
|
||
Verify that VictoriaMetrics pod is up and running by executing the following command:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
kubectl get pods
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
The expected output is:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
|
||
vmsingle-victoria-metrics-single-server-0 1/1 Running 0 68s
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 3. Install and connect Grafana to VictoriaMetrics with Helm
|
||
|
||
Add the Grafana Helm repository.
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
|
||
helm repo update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
By installing the Chart with the release name `my-grafana`, you add the VictoriaMetrics datasource with official dashboard and kubernetes dashboard:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
cat <<EOF | helm install my-grafana grafana/grafana -f -
|
||
datasources:
|
||
datasources.yaml:
|
||
apiVersion: 1
|
||
datasources:
|
||
- name: victoriametrics
|
||
type: prometheus
|
||
orgId: 1
|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
dashboardProviders:
|
||
dashboardproviders.yaml:
|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||
orgId: 1
|
||
folder: ''
|
||
type: file
|
||
disableDeletion: true
|
||
editable: true
|
||
options:
|
||
path: /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/default
|
||
|
||
dashboards:
|
||
default:
|
||
victoriametrics:
|
||
gnetId: 10229
|
||
revision: 22
|
||
datasource: victoriametrics
|
||
kubernetes:
|
||
gnetId: 14205
|
||
revision: 1
|
||
datasource: victoriametrics
|
||
EOF
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
By running this command we:
|
||
* Install Grafana from Helm repository.
|
||
* Provision VictoriaMetrics datasource with the url from the output above which we copied before.
|
||
* Add [this dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/10229) for VictoriaMetrics.
|
||
* Add [this dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/14205) to see Kubernetes cluster metrics.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Check the output log in your terminal.
|
||
To see the password for Grafana `admin` user use the following command:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
kubectl get secret --namespace default my-grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
Expose Grafana service on `127.0.0.1:3000`:
|
||
|
||
<div class="with-copy" markdown="1">
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=grafana,app.kubernetes.io/instance=my-grafana" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
|
||
|
||
kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 3000
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
Now Grafana should be accessible on the [http://127.0.0.1:3000](http://127.0.0.1:3000) address.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 4. Check the obtained result in your browser
|
||
|
||
To check that VictoriaMetrics has collects metrics from the k8s cluster open in browser [http://127.0.0.1:3000/dashboards](http://127.0.0.1:3000/dashboards) and choose `Kubernetes Cluster Monitoring (via Prometheus)` dashboard. Use `admin` for login and `password` that you previously obtained from kubectl.

|
||
<img src="k8s-monitoring-via-vm-single_grafana-dashboards.webp" width="800" alt="">
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
You will see something like this:

||
<p align="center">
|
||
<img src="k8s-monitoring-via-vm-single_grafana-k8s-dashboard.webp" width="800" alt="">
|
||

|
||
|
||
VictoriaMetrics dashboard also available to use:

|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
## 5. Final thoughts
|
||
|
||
* We have set up TimeSeries Database for your k8s cluster.
|
||
* Collected metrics from all running pods,nodes, … and store them in VictoriaMetrics database.
|
||
* Visualize resources used in Kubernetes cluster by Grafana dashboards.
