Setting up Prometheus

Install Prometheus using a Helm chart with the customized values.yaml. There are four components that will be installed with this chart: Prometheus server, Alertmanager, node-exporter, and kube-state-metrics.

Create a new namespace monitoring.

kubectl create ns monitoring

Deploy the PV and PVC YAML files.

kubectl apply -f prometheus/persistence.yaml
kubectl apply -f prometheus/alert-persistence.yaml

Install the Prometheus chart. In this sample we will use version 17.0.0.

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts --force-update
helm install prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus --namespace monitoring  --values prometheus/values.yaml --version 17.0.0 --wait

Note that in the customized values.yaml file, we added a new job wls-domain1 to scrape data from the WebLogic domain created in the previous step.

Verification

Wait until all the Prometheus pods are running and ready.

kubectl -n monitoring get pod -l app=prometheus

output

NAME                                            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
prometheus-alertmanager-7456cdb5b8-9vfmd        2/2     Running   0          1h
prometheus-kube-state-metrics-dbfff5557-f22xx   1/1     Running   0          1h
prometheus-node-exporter-6n7rj                  1/1     Running   0          1h
prometheus-server-5789fffc86-mmh8f              2/2     Running   0          1h

Check the Prometheus sevices.

kubectl -n monitoring get svc -l app=prometheus

output

NAME                            TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE

prometheus-node-exporter        ClusterIP   None             <none>        9100/TCP       1h
prometheus-server               NodePort    10.103.186.222   <none>        80:30000/TCP   1h

Access the Prometheus web UI

Now you can access the Prometheus web UI in your browser with the URL http://<HostIP>:30000.

Access the Target Page

In the top menu, click Status and then Targets. The target page is displayed. Go to the bottom of the page; you'll find that the two targets of wls-domain1 are up and healthy.

Prometheus Targets

Query the WebLogic Metrics from the Graph Page

In the top menu, click Graph. The graph page is displayed. Enter the expression wls_jvm_uptime that is one of the WebLogic metrics, and click Execute. There will be two results displayed as shown below. This means that the Prometheus server can scrape metrics from WebLogic Servers successfully.

Prometheus Targets

We'll talk about Alertmanager in a later step.
