Implementing multi-tenant monitoring with RuleGroups in AMP

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To implement multi-tenant monitoring with Rule Groups in Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP), you will need to automate the creation of workspaces for each tenant and define rules within Rule Group Namespaces to tailor the monitoring to each tenant’s needs.

Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) is a managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring service for container infrastructure and application metrics for containers. AMP is particularly designed to monitor environments with multi-tenant architecture, such as those running multiple microservices or multiple instances of a service for different customers.

In the context of AMP, a "Workspace" is an isolated environment with its own data, and a "Rule Group Namespace" is used to manage a set of Prometheus alerting and recording rules within a given workspace.

Below is a TypeScript Pulumi program that demonstrates how you could create an AMP workspace, a Rule Group Namespace, and a set of rules for monitoring. This example assumes that you have configured your AWS credentials and Pulumi correctly.

First, you'll need to import the AMP resources from the AWS package.

import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

Then, you can write the Pulumi program to create the AMP workspace and Rule Group Namespace, along with the Rule Groups themselves. We use the aws.amp.Workspace and aws.amp.RuleGroupNamespace Pulumi resources for this purpose.

Please replace <your-workspace-alias> with the alias you want to set for your workspace, and <your-rules-data> with the rule data in YAML format that defines the Prometheus rules. This can include both alerting rules and recording rules, but it should comply with the Prometheus rule format.

// Create an AMP Workspace for monitoring.
const workspace = new aws.amp.Workspace("myWorkspace", {
    alias: "<your-workspace-alias>", // Provide a unique alias for the workspace
});

// Create a Rule Group Namespace for AMP. This namespace will contain the set of rules.
const myRuleGroupNamespace = new aws.amp.RuleGroupNamespace("myRuleGroupNamespace", {
    workspaceId: workspace.id,
    name: "myNamespace", // Provide a name for your Rule Group Namespace
    data: `<your-rules-data>`, // Provide Prometheus rule data (YAML-formatted)
});

// Export the workspace ID to be easily retrieved, for example, via Pulumi stack output
export const workspaceId = workspace.id;

The above code provides the basic structure to create an AMP workspace and define a set of rules for monitoring within a Rule Group Namespace. The rule data (alerting/recording rules) should be defined in YAML format as a string and entered in place of <your-rules-data>. Each tenant could have their own custom monitoring setup by creating a unique workspace and set of rules as needed.

Finally, as additional information, in a multi-tenant environment, you'd likely automate the provisioning of these resources per tenant using Pulumi's programming constructs like loops or mapping over a list of tenants, depending on your needs and architecture.

Keep in mind that this is a simplified and abridged example focused on the creation of an AMP workspace and related rules. In a production environment, you may also need to manage permissions, handle more sophisticated rule definitions, integrate with notification systems, and set up related AWS resources.
