Kubernetes Setup for Prometheus and Grafana
Quick start
To quickly start all the things just do this:
kubectl apply \
--filename https://raw.githubusercontent.com/giantswarm/prometheus/master/manifests-all.yaml
This will create the namespace monitoring and bring up all components in there.
To shut down all components again you can just delete that namespace:
kubectl delete namespace monitoring
Default Dashboards
If you want to re-import the default dashboards from this setup run this job:
kubectl apply --filename ./manifests/grafana/import-dashboards/job.yaml
In case the job already exists from an earlier run, delete it before:
kubectl --namespace monitoring delete job grafana-import-dashboards
To access grafana you can use port forward functionality
kubectl port-forward --namespace monitoring service/grafana 3000:3000
And you should be able to access grafana on http://localhost:3000/login
