VictoriaMetrics operator exports internal metrics in Prometheus exposition format at `/metrics` page.
These metrics can be scraped via [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/resources/vmagent) or Prometheus.
## Dashboard
Official Grafana dashboard available for [vmoperator](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/17869-victoriametrics-operator/).
![operator dashboard monitoring](monitoring_operator-dashboard.webp)
Graphs on the dashboards contain useful hints - hover the `i` icon in the top left corner of each graph to read it.
## Alerting rules
Alerting rules for VictoriaMetrics operator are available [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/blob/master/config/alerting/vmoperator-rules.yaml).
## Configuration
### Helm-chart victoria-metrics-k8s-stack
In [victoria-metrics-k8s-stack](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/README.md) helm-chart operator self-scrapes metrics by default.
This helm-chart also includes [official grafana dashboard for operator](#dashboard) and [official alerting rules for operator](#alerting-rules).
### Helm-chart victoria-metrics-operator
With [victoria-metrics-operator](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/victoria-metrics-operator/README.md) you can use following parameter in `values.yaml`:
```yaml
# values.yaml
#...
# -- configures monitoring with serviceScrape. VMServiceScrape must be pre-installed
serviceMonitor:
enabled: true
```
This parameter makes helm-chart to create a scrape-object for installed operator instance.
You will also need to deploy a (vmsingle)[https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/resources/vmsingle] where the metrics will be collected.
### Pure operator installation
With pure operator installation you can use config with separate vmsingle and scrape object for operator like that:
```yaml
apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMServiceScrape
metadata:
name: vmoperator
namespace: monitoring
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/instance: vm-operator
app.kubernetes.io/name: victoria-metrics-operator
endpoints:
- port: http
namespaceSelector:
matchNames:
- monitoring
```
See more info about object [VMServiceScrape](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/resources/vmservicescrape).
You will also need a [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/resources/vmsingle) where the metrics will be collected.
