Prometheus Node Exporter is a tried and tested method to make hardware and OS metrics available as a scrapable endpoint to Prometheus server (or other downstream services/TSDB that support the same format). With OpenTelemetry (OTel) gaining more traction/recognition, I learnt that the OTel Collector's Host Metrics Receiver can also be used to expose host level metrics. However, I wondered if it would be able to make parity in terms of the type/number of metrics it is able to expose to downstr...| Technical Scratchpad

Introduction Monitoring and alerting are crucial aspects of managing Kubernetes clusters. Prometheus is a powerful open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit that is widely used in Kubernetes environments. This guide explains how to successfully install Prometheus on MicroK8s and solve the common TLS certificate issue that may arise during the process. Prerequisites A working MicroK8s installation.

At work, we have a Prometheus metric from our build system named autobuild_build_timestamp that exports the timestamp for the latest build for a given application and Git branch. The process that exports this is stateless, so if it restarts or a new version of it is deployed, we're out of luck if we want to do something like build a dashboard to show the latest builds. One thing we can do is use a range query, but we can also make use of Prometheus' recording rules to provide a nice abstracti...| hoelz.ro

Introduction Containerd is a popular container runtime used in Kubernetes. It serves as the underlying engine responsible for managing low-level tasks, such as creating and managing container sandboxes, starting processes within those sandboxes, and handling image pulling. As Containerd plays a crucial role in the smooth operation of containerized applications, monitoring its performance and health […] The post How to monitor Containerd appeared first on Povilas Versockas.| Povilas Versockas

Introduction Kubelet is a Node daemon that registers itself with the Kubernetes API Server and manages Pods for that Node.

There are many things Kubelet […] The post How to monitor Kubelet appeared first on Povilas Versockas.| Povilas Versockas
What are Kubernetes Controllers? Kubernetes Controllers are designed to manage the lifecycle of certain resources, like Deployments and Services. They are responsible for keeping the cluster’s desired state in sync with its actual state.

So the […] The post A Technique To Monitor Kubernetes Controller Latency appeared first on Povilas Versockas.| Povilas Versockas

Starting with Istio 1.6, we are introducing a new method for integration with telemetry addons, such as Grafana, Prometheus, Zipkin, Jaeger, and Kiali. In previous releases, these addons were bundled as part of the Istio installation. This allowed users to quickly get started with Istio without any complicated configurations to install and integrate these addons. However, it came with some issues: The Istio addon installations were not as up to date or feature rich as upstream installation me...| Istio Blog
HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) allow you to dynamically scale the replica count of your Deployment based on basic CPU/memory resource metrics from the metrics-server.

The prometheus-adapter takes basic Prometheus metrics, and then synthesizes custom API ... Kubernetes: HorizontalPodAutoscaler evaluation based on Prometheus metric| fabianlee.org
A few months ago, I was pairing with my coworker Graham on a Grafana dashboard, and we ran into a pitfall I thought it'd be nice to share. We were trying to create a dashboard that would show how many changes happened to a database table between points on the graph, and we were getting some mysterious results!| hoelz.ro
When it comes to monitoring tools in the last while, Prometheus is definitely hard to miss. It has quickly risen to be top of the class, with overwhelming adoption from the community and integrations with all the major pieces of the Cloud Native puzzle. Throughout this blog series, we will be learning the basics of Prometheus and how Prometheus fits within a service-oriented architecture. This first post the series will cover the main concepts used in Prometheus: metrics and labels.| Pierre Vincent

For a while, I have been looking for a smokeping alternative for latency monitoring from different servers spread around. While smokeping has survived well over time, in 2023 it feels like an outdated package, with limited options, lacks federation etc. This post from Karan Sharma / Zerodha on “Monitoring my home network” was exciting. His setup included a telegraph agent on a local server, Prometheus to scrap data and Grafana to draw latency data. I explored doing the same but in a distr...| Personal blog of Anurag Bhatia

Tonight I was introduced to a Deluge exporter for Prometheus so I figured I’d whip up a quick dashboard for visualizing the metrics. Deluge Dashboard is a very simple way to display Deluge torrent metrics. It uses the deluge exporter to populate a Prometheus data source.

Last year I bought myself a ThinkPad X1 Yoga to use as my personal laptop - I've been pretty happy with it so far, but there's one problem I've run into that I've noticed a lot more lately - the laptop will sometimes wake up while the lid is closed, go back to sleep, and then repeat that whole process every few minutes. This can't be good for the hardware, so I dug into this issue and wanted to share my findings with anyone who's having the same problem running Linux on this laptop!| hoelz.ro
