1. Scalable Prometheus Monitoring for Kubernetes Clusters

    Python

    To set up scalable Prometheus monitoring for Kubernetes clusters, you would typically follow these steps:

    1. Cluster Preparation: Ensure your Kubernetes cluster is running and accessible. For automated deployment and scaling, you'd deploy a service like Prometheus within the clusters.

    2. Prometheus Operator: Use the Prometheus Operator, which provides Kubernetes native deployment and management of Prometheus and related monitoring components. The operator includes features like automatic configuration, updates, and scalable services for Prometheus.

    3. Service Monitors: Define ServiceMonitors to specify which services should be monitored by Prometheus. The Prometheus operator automatically generates the Prometheus config based on the ServiceMonitors.

    4. Scraping Configuration: Set up the scrape configuration in Prometheus to periodically collect metrics from the monitored services.

    5. Alerting Rules: Define alerting rules in Prometheus based on the metrics collected.

    6. Grafana Integration: Optionally, set up Grafana for visualizing the data collected by Prometheus.

    Here's a program that sets up the Prometheus Operator on a Kubernetes cluster. We will use the pulumi_kubernetes package to deploy these resources onto your cluster. Make sure you have kubectl configured to connect to your cluster.

    import pulumi import pulumi_kubernetes as k8s # Precondition: Ensure you have a kubeconfig file configured to connect to your existing Kubernetes cluster. # Create a namespace for your monitoring setup monitoring_namespace = k8s.core.v1.Namespace("monitoring-ns", metadata={"name": "monitoring"}) # Install the Prometheus Operator, which will automatically create the Prometheus StatefulSet, # necessary RBAC settings, and other related resources. # This example uses the stable Helm chart for Prometheus Operator. prometheus_operator_chart = k8s.helm.v3.Chart("prometheus-operator", config={ "namespace": monitoring_namespace.metadata["name"], "chart": "kube-prometheus-stack", "version": "19.0.1", # Use a version that is compatible with your cluster. "fetch_opts": { "repo": "https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts" } }, opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(namespace=monitoring_namespace.metadata["name"])) # Create a ServiceMonitor that specifies which services should be monitored. # This is just an example; you would configure selector labels matching your service. example_service_monitor = k8s.monitoring.v1.ServiceMonitor("example-service-monitor", metadata={ "namespace": monitoring_namespace.metadata["name"], "labels": { "release": "prometheus" } }, spec={ "selector": { "matchLabels": { "app": "your-app" # Replace with labels matching your service } }, "endpoints": [{ "port": "http" # Replace with the name of the port exposing metrics on your service }] }, opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(namespace=monitoring_namespace.metadata["name"])) # Once the program is executed successfully, your Kubernetes cluster will have Prometheus Operator running # which in turn manages Prometheus instances that are configured according to the ServiceMonitors. # Remember to update the ServiceMonitor configuration to match the label of the services you want to monitor.

    This program will:

    • Create a new Kubernetes namespace called "monitoring" where all our resources will live.
    • Deploy the Prometheus Operator using the kube-prometheus-stack Helm chart, which will set up Prometheus together with Grafana and Alertmanager.
    • Define a ServiceMonitor resource to specify which services to monitor. The labels should match those of your application services which expose metrics.

    To apply this Pulumi program, save it into a file named monitoring.py, and run pulumi up. It will plan and execute changes to achieve the desired state specified by the code.

    Note: You should adjust the version number of the kube-prometheus-stack Helm chart to match the version compatible with your Kubernetes cluster.

    This is a basic example. Monitoring a production environment may involve additional considerations such as persistent storage for Prometheus metrics, integrating a storage backend for long-term metric storage, setting up alerting rules, etc.
