Prometheus and Grafana Setup for Minikube

This project provides a quick demo of setting up Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring in a Minikube environment. It's designed to help you become familiar with Minikube, kubectl, Prometheus, and Grafana for monitoring and visualization.

Prerequisites

  • Install minikube.
  • Clone this repository to your machine.

Getting Started

  • Start the Minikube cluster by running minikube start. Refer to the minikube docs for more details.
  • Check the status of the cluster with minikube status.
  • To stop the cluster, use minikube stop. To start it again, run minikube start.

Monitoring Namespace

  • Create the monitoring namespace with kubectl apply -f monitoring-namespace.yaml.
  • Check the namespaces with kubectl get namespaces.

Deploying Prometheus and Grafana

  • Deploy Prometheus using the configuration from prometheus-config.yaml.
  • Create a Prometheus Pod with prometheus-deployment.yaml.
  • Expose Prometheus using a Kubernetes Service defined in prometheus-service.yaml.
  • Deploy Grafana using grafana-deployment.yaml and expose it with grafana-service.yaml.

Accessing the Dashboards

  • Access Prometheus at http://prometheus:9090.
  • Access Grafana using minikube service --namespace=monitoring grafana. Use the credentials: Username: admin, Password: admin.

This setup allows you to monitor your Minikube cluster and create custom dashboards for your metrics. When you're done, clean up by deleting the entire monitoring namespace with kubectl delete namespace monitoring.
