Kubernetes monitoring on VictoriaMetrics stack. Includes VictoriaMetrics Operator, Grafana dashboards, ServiceScrapes and VMRules

Overview

This chart is an All-in-one solution to start monitoring kubernetes cluster. It installs multiple dependency charts like grafana, node-exporter, kube-state-metrics and victoria-metrics-operator. Also it installs Custom Resources like VMSingle, VMCluster, VMAgent, VMAlert.

By default, the operator converts all existing prometheus-operator API objects into corresponding VictoriaMetrics Operator objects.

To enable metrics collection for kubernetes this chart installs multiple scrape configurations for kuberenetes components like kubelet and kube-proxy, etc. Metrics collection is done by VMAgent. So if want to ship metrics to external VictoriaMetrics database you can disable VMSingle installation by setting vmsingle.enabled to false and setting vmagent.vmagentSpec.remoteWrite.url to your external VictoriaMetrics database.

This chart also installs bunch of dashboards and recording rules from kube-prometheus project.

Overview

Configuration

Configuration of this chart is done through helm values.

Dependencies

Dependencies can be enabled or disabled by setting enabled to true or false in values.yaml file.

!Important: for dependency charts anything that you can find in values.yaml of dependency chart can be configured in this chart under key for that dependency. For example if you want to configure grafana you can find all possible configuration options in values.yaml and you should set them in values for this chart under grafana: key. For example if you want to configure grafana.persistence.enabled you should set it in values.yaml like this:

#################################################
###              dependencies               #####
#################################################
# Grafana dependency chart configuration. For possible values refer to https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/grafana#configuration
grafana:
  enabled: true
  persistence:
    type: pvc
    enabled: false

VictoriaMetrics components

This chart installs multiple VictoriaMetrics components using Custom Resources that are managed by victoria-metrics-operator Each resource can be configured using spec of that resource from API docs of victoria-metrics-operator. For example if you want to configure VMAgent you can find all possible configuration options in API docs and you should set them in values for this chart under vmagent.spec key. For example if you want to configure remoteWrite.url you should set it in values.yaml like this:

vmagent:
  spec:
    remoteWrite:
      - url: "https://insert.vmcluster.domain.com/insert/0/prometheus/api/v1/write"

ArgoCD issues

Operator self signed certificates

When deploying K8s stack using ArgoCD without Cert Manager (.Values.victoria-metrics-operator.admissionWebhooks.certManager.enabled: false) it will rerender operator's webhook certificates on each sync since Helm lookup function is not respected by ArgoCD. To prevent this please update you K8s stack Application spec.syncPolicy and spec.ignoreDifferences with a following:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
...
spec:
  ...
  syncPolicy:
    syncOptions:
    # https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/sync-options/#respect-ignore-difference-configs
    # argocd must also ignore difference during apply stage
    # otherwise it ll silently override changes and cause a problem
    - RespectIgnoreDifferences=true
  ignoreDifferences:
    - group: ""
      kind: Secret
      name: <fullname>-validation
      namespace: kube-system
      jsonPointers:
        - /data
    - group: admissionregistration.k8s.io
      kind: ValidatingWebhookConfiguration
      name: <fullname>-admission
      jqPathExpressions:
      - '.webhooks[]?.clientConfig.caBundle'

where <fullname> is output of {{ include "vm-operator.fullname" }} for your setup

metadata.annotations: Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes on dashboards

If one of dashboards ConfigMap is failing with error Too long: must have at most 262144 bytes, please make sure you've added argocd.argoproj.io/sync-options: ServerSideApply=true annotation to your dashboards:

grafana:
  sidecar:
    dashboards:
      additionalDashboardAnnotations
        argocd.argoproj.io/sync-options: ServerSideApply=true

argocd.argoproj.io/sync-options: ServerSideApply=true

Rules and dashboards

This chart by default install multiple dashboards and recording rules from kube-prometheus you can disable dashboards with defaultDashboardsEnabled: false and experimentalDashboardsEnabled: false and rules can be configured under defaultRules

Prometheus scrape configs

This chart installs multiple scrape configurations for kubernetes monitoring. They are configured under #ServiceMonitors section in values.yaml file. For example if you want to configure scrape config for kubelet you should set it in values.yaml like this:

kubelet:
  enabled: true
  # spec for VMNodeScrape crd
  # https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/api#vmnodescrapespec
  spec:
    interval: "30s"

Using externally managed Grafana

If you want to use an externally managed Grafana instance but still want to use the dashboards provided by this chart you can set grafana.enabled to false and set defaultDashboardsEnabled to true. This will install the dashboards but will not install Grafana.

For example:

defaultDashboardsEnabled: true

grafana:
  enabled: false

This will create ConfigMaps with dashboards to be imported into Grafana.

If additional configuration for labels or annotations is needed in order to import dashboard to an existing Grafana you can set .grafana.sidecar.dashboards.additionalDashboardLabels or .grafana.sidecar.dashboards.additionalDashboardAnnotations in values.yaml:

For example:

defaultDashboardsEnabled: true

grafana:
  enabled: false
  sidecar:
    dashboards:
      additionalDashboardLabels:
        key: value
      additionalDashboardAnnotations:
        key: value

Prerequisites

  • Install the follow packages: git, kubectl, helm, helm-docs. See this tutorial.

  • Add dependency chart repositories

helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
  • PV support on underlying infrastructure.

How to install

Access a Kubernetes cluster.

Setup chart repository (can be omitted for OCI repositories)

Add a chart helm repository with follow commands:

helm repo add vm https://victoriametrics.github.io/helm-charts/

helm repo update

List versions of vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack chart available to installation:

helm search repo vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -l

Install victoria-metrics-k8s-stack chart

Export default values of victoria-metrics-k8s-stack chart to file values.yaml:

  • For HTTPS repository

    helm show values vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack > values.yaml
    
  • For OCI repository

    helm show values oci://ghcr.io/victoriametrics/helm-charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack > values.yaml
    

Change the values according to the need of the environment in values.yaml file.

Test the installation with command:

  • For HTTPS repository

    helm install vmks vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE --debug --dry-run
    
  • For OCI repository

    helm install vmks oci://ghcr.io/victoriametrics/helm-charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE --debug --dry-run
    

Install chart with command:

  • For HTTPS repository

    helm install vmks vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE
    
  • For OCI repository

    helm install vmks oci://ghcr.io/victoriametrics/helm-charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -f values.yaml -n NAMESPACE
    

Get the pods lists by running this commands:

kubectl get pods -A | grep 'vmks'

Get the application by running this command:

helm list -f vmks -n NAMESPACE

See the history of versions of vmks application with command.

helm history vmks -n NAMESPACE

Install locally (Minikube)

To run VictoriaMetrics stack locally it's possible to use Minikube. To avoid dashboards and alert rules issues please follow the steps below:

Run Minikube cluster

minikube start --container-runtime=containerd --extra-config=scheduler.bind-address=0.0.0.0 --extra-config=controller-manager.bind-address=0.0.0.0

Install helm chart

helm install [RELEASE_NAME] vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack -f values.yaml -f values.minikube.yaml -n NAMESPACE --debug --dry-run

How to uninstall

Remove application with command.

helm uninstall vmks -n NAMESPACE

CRDs created by this chart are not removed by default and should be manually cleaned up:

kubectl get crd | grep victoriametrics.com | awk '{print $1 }' | xargs -i kubectl delete crd {}

Troubleshooting

  • If you cannot install helm chart with error configmap already exist. It could happen because of name collisions, if you set too long release name. Kubernetes by default, allows only 63 symbols at resource names and all resource names are trimmed by helm to 63 symbols. To mitigate it, use shorter name for helm chart release name, like:
# stack - is short enough
helm upgrade -i stack vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack

Or use override for helm chart release name:

helm upgrade -i some-very-long-name vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack --set fullnameOverride=stack

Upgrade guide

Usually, helm upgrade doesn't requires manual actions. Just execute command:

$ helm upgrade [RELEASE_NAME] vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack

But release with CRD update can only be patched manually with kubectl. Since helm does not perform a CRD update, we recommend that you always perform this when updating the helm-charts version:

# 1. check the changes in CRD
$ helm show crds vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack --version [YOUR_CHART_VERSION] | kubectl diff -f -

# 2. apply the changes (update CRD)
$ helm show crds vm/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack --version [YOUR_CHART_VERSION] | kubectl apply -f - --server-side

All other manual actions upgrades listed below:

Upgrade to 0.13.0

  • node-exporter starting from version 4.0.0 is using the Kubernetes recommended labels. Therefore you have to delete the daemonset before you upgrade.
kubectl delete daemonset -l app=prometheus-node-exporter
  • scrape configuration for kubernetes components was moved from vmServiceScrape.spec section to spec section. If you previously modified scrape configuration you need to update your values.yaml

  • grafana.defaultDashboardsEnabled was renamed to defaultDashboardsEnabled (moved to top level). You may need to update it in your values.yaml

Upgrade to 0.6.0

All CRD must be update to the lastest version with command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/crds/crd.yaml

Upgrade to 0.4.0

All CRD must be update to v1 version with command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/crds/crd.yaml

Upgrade from 0.2.8 to 0.2.9

Update VMAgent crd

command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/v0.16.0/config/crd/bases/operator.victoriametrics.com_vmagents.yaml

Upgrade from 0.2.5 to 0.2.6

New CRD added to operator - VMUser and VMAuth, new fields added to exist crd. Manual commands:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/v0.15.0/config/crd/bases/operator.victoriametrics.com_vmusers.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/v0.15.0/config/crd/bases/operator.victoriametrics.com_vmauths.yaml

Documentation of Helm Chart

Install helm-docs following the instructions on this tutorial.

Generate docs with helm-docs command.

cd charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack

helm-docs

The markdown generation is entirely go template driven. The tool parses metadata from charts and generates a number of sub-templates that can be referenced in a template file (by default README.md.gotmpl). If no template file is provided, the tool has a default internal template that will generate a reasonably formatted README.

Parameters

The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the chart and their default values.
