Rancher Istio Installers

A Rancher created chart that packages the istioctl binary to install via a helm chart.

Installation Requirements

Chart Dependencies

  • rancher-kiali-server-crd chart
  • rancher-monitoring chart or other monitoring installation

Kiali

The kiali.external_services.prometheus url is set in the values.yaml:

http://{{ .Values.nameOverride }}-prometheus.{{ .Values.namespaceOverride }}.svc:{{ prometheus.service.port }}

The url depends on the default values for nameOverride, namespaceOverride, and prometheus.service.port being set in your rancher-monitoring or other monitoring instance.

The Monitoring app sets prometheus.prometheusSpec.ignoreNamespaceSelectors=true which means only the istio-system namespace will be scraped by prometheus by default. To ensure you can view traffic, metrics and graphs for resources deployed in other namespaces you will need to add additional configuration.

There are three different ways to enable prometheus to detect resources in other namespaces:

  1. Add a Service Monitor or Pod Monitor in the namespace with the targets you want to scrape.
  2. Set prometheus.prometheusSpec.ignoreNamespaceSelectors=false on your rancher-monitoring instance.
  3. Add an additionalScrapeConfig to your rancher-monitoring instance to scrape all targets in all namespaces.

Installation

helm install rancher-istio . --create-namespace -n istio-system
