Installing Prometheus

Prometheus provides monitoring on the system. It is used in the auto-scaling feature, but can also be used to monitor your system usage and performance.

The Prometheus application must be installed to deploy the autoscaler and deploy Grafana on a Sametime Kubernetes environment.

The procedures in this topic install the Kube-Prometheus stack using Helm and the default helm charts. Refer to the prometheus-operator / kube-prometheus readme for the default settings. To customize the configuration, the prometheus-community/helm-charts can be downloaded and modified before installing them.

  1. Add the prometheus-community helm repository.

    helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts

  2. Create a namespace for monitoring.

    kubectl create namespace monitoring

  3. Run the following command to install Prometheus. The command must be entered as a single line.

    helm install -n monitoring prometheus --set prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack
