Monitoring

K8s monitoring.

metrics-server

Clone metrics-server.

git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/metrics-server.git
cd metrics-server

Edit resource-reader.yaml.

nano deploy/1.8+/resource-reader.yaml

Edit the resources section as follows:

...
resources:
  - pods
  - nodes
  - namespaces
  - nodes/stats
...

Edit metrics-server-deployment.yaml

nano deploy/1.8+/metrics-server-deployment.yaml

Edit as follows:

...
      containers:
      - name: metrics-server
        image: k8s.gcr.io/metrics-server-amd64:v0.3.3
        command:
        - /metrics-server
        - --kubelet-insecure-tls
        - --kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP
        imagePullPolicy: Always
...

Deploy it.

kubectl apply -f deploy/1.8+/

Wait a few minutes and run:

kubectl top node
kubectl get --raw "/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/nodes" |jq
kubectl get --raw "/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/namespaces/YOUR-NAMESPACE/pods" |jq

Rancher

docker run \
  -tid \
  --name=rancher \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  rancher/rancher:latest

Add a cluster and run on you cluster the manifest it generates.

Also check: https://github.com/rancher/fleet

Audit

SSH to your master node.

Create a policy file:

mkdir /etc/kubernetes/policies
nano /etc/kubernetes/policies/audit-policy.yaml

Paste:

# Log all requests at the Metadata level.
apiVersion: audit.k8s.io/v1
kind: Policy
rules:
- level: Metadata

Edit K8s API server config file:

nano /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml

Add:

...
spec:
  containers:
  - command:
    - kube-apiserver
...
    - --audit-policy-file=/etc/kubernetes/policies/audit-policy.yaml
    - --audit-log-path=/var/log/apiserver/audit.log
    - --audit-log-format=json
...
    volumeMounts:
...
    - mountPath: /etc/kubernetes/policies
      name: policies
      readOnly: true
...
  volumes:
...
  - hostPath:
      path: /etc/kubernetes/policies
      type: DirectoryOrCreate
    name: policies

Restart kubelet:

systemctl restart kubelet

If the changes did not take effect, stop the API server docker container (it will be started automatically):

docker stop $(docker ps | grep "k8s_kube-apiserver_kube-apiserver-k8smaster_kube-system" | awk '{print $1}')

Tail the log file:

docker exec -it $(docker ps |grep "k8s_kube-apiserver_kube-apiserver-k8smaster_kube-system" | awk '{print $1}') tail -f /var/log/apiserver/audit.log

Prometheus

Create namespace

kubectl create namespace monitoring

Create Prometheus config

nano prometheus.yml

Paste:

global:
  scrape_interval:     15s
  external_labels:
    monitor: 'codelab-monitor'
scrape_configs:

  - job_name: 'prometheus'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090']

Prometheus config file example: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md

Create a ConfigMap from the config file:

kubectl -n monitoring create configmap cm-prometheus --from-file prometheus.yml

If you need to update the ConfigMap...

Edit the file:

nano prometheus.yml

Update the ConfigMap:

kubectl -n monitoring \
  create configmap cm-prometheus \
  --from-file=prometheus.yml \
  -o yaml --dry-run | kubectl apply -f -

Now we need to roll out the new ConfigMap. By the time of this writing (2019-02-15), this subjects seems to be a little tricky. Please find some options bellow:

Roll out ConfigMap: option 1 - scale deployment

This is the only way that will "always" work, although there will be a few seconds of downtime:

kubectl -n monitoring scale deployment/prometheus --replicas=0
kubectl -n monitoring scale deployment/prometheus --replicas=1

Roll out ConfigMap: option 2 - patch the deployment

kubectl -n monitoring \
  patch deployment prometheus \
  -p '{"spec":{"template":{"metadata":{"labels":{"date":"2019-02-15"}}}}}'

Roll out ConfigMap: option 3 - create a new ConfigMap

Create a new ConfigMap:

kubectl -n monitoring \
  create configmap cm-prometheus-new \
  --from-file=prometheus.yml \
  -o yaml --dry-run | kubectl apply -f -

Edit the deployment:

export EDITOR=nano
kubectl -n monitoring edit deployments prometheus

Edit volumes.configMap.name and use cm-prometheus-new. The change will force K8s to create new pods with the new config.

If by any reason you deployed Prometheus with hostNetwork: true, options 2 and 3 will return this error:

0/2 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports, 1 node(s) didn't match node selector.

In this case, use option 1.

If you need more info regarding rolling out ConfigMaps, please refer to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37317003/restart-pods-when-configmap-updates-in-kubernetes

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/22368

Deploy Prometheus

SSH to the node which will host Prometheus and create a directory to persist its data:

mkdir -p /storage/storage-001/mnt-prometheus
chown -R nobody:nogroup /storage/storage-001/mnt-prometheus

Deploy Prometheus:

kubectl create -f - <<EOF

Test the deployment

On your workstation access http://YOUR.CLUSTER.IP:30909

Alternatively you can port forward:

export NAMESPACE=monitoring
kubectl port-forward \
  -n $NAMESPACE \
  $(kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get pods |grep "prometheus-" | awk '{print $1}') \
  9090

Then access http://localhost:9090

Test the deployment

On your workstation access http://YOUR.CLUSTER.IP:30000

Alternatively you can port forward:

export NAMESPACE=monitoring
kubectl port-forward \
  -n $NAMESPACE \
  $(kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get pods |grep "grafana-" | awk '{print $1}') \
  3000

Then access http://localhost:9090

Install

Create a StorageClass

Create the manifest:

cat > storage-class.yml <<EOF
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: local-storage
provisioner: kubernetes.io/no-provisioner
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer

EOF

Deploy it:

kubectl create -f storage-class.yml

Install the helm chart

Create the manifest:

cat > custom-values.yaml <<EOF

Make sure you have helm and tiller set up.

Deploy prometheus-operator:

helm install \
  --tls \
  --name prom \
  --namespace monitoring\
  -f custom-values.yaml \
  stable/prometheus-operator

If you need to update the custom values, run:

helm upgrade -f custom-values.yaml /
  prom stable/prometheus-operator

Check statuses:

kubectl --namespace monitoring get pods -l "release=prom"

Port forwarding

Prometheus:

kubectl port-forward \
  -n monitoring \
  prometheus-prom-prometheus-operator-prometheus-0 9090

Alert manager:

kubectl port-forward \
  -n monitoring alertmanager-prom-prometheus-operator-alertmanager-0 9093

Grafana:

kubectl port-forward \
  -n monitoring \
  $(kubectl -n monitoring get pods |grep "prom-grafana" | awk '{print $1}') \
  3000:3000
