README.md

rancher-project-monitoring

This chart installs a project-scoped version of rancher-monitoring, a Helm chart based off of kube-prometheus stack. It deploys a collection of Kubernetes manifests, Grafana dashboards, and Prometheus rules combined with documentation and scripts to provide easy to operate end-to-end Kubernetes project monitoring with Prometheus using the Prometheus Operator. See the kube-prometheus README for details about components, dashboards, and alerts.

Prerequisites

Kubernetes 1.16+
Helm 3+

Install Chart

This chart is not intended for standalone use; it's intended to be deployed via Prometheus Federator. For a Prometheus Stack intended to be deployed standalone, please use rancher-monitoring or the upstream kube-prometheus-stack project.

Dependencies

This chart is designed to be deployed alongside an existing Prometheus Operator deployment in a cluster that has already installed the Prometheus Operator CRDs. Specifically, the chart is configured and intended to be deployed alongside rancher-monitoring, which deploys Prometheus Operator alongside a Cluster Prometheus that rancher-project-monitoring is configured to federate namespace-scoped metrics from by default.

Configuration

Since this chart installs a project-scoped version of rancher-monitoring, a Helm chart based off of kube-prometheus-stack, most of the options that apply to either of those charts will apply to this chart (e.g. support for configuring persistent volumes, ingresses, etc.) and can be passed in as part of the spec.values of the ProjectHelmChart that deploys this chart; however, certain advanced functionality (such as Thanos support) and options that pose security risks in Project environments (e.g. ability to ignoreNamespaceSelectors or modify the existing namepaceSelectors of the Cluster Prometheus, ability to mount additional scrape configs, etc.) have been removed from the values.yaml of the chart. For more information on how to configure values and what they mean, please see the comments and options provided on the values.yaml packaged with this chart.

Further Information
