Grafana agent JSON Schema
Hey, I would like to lint my agent config in vscode. Did someone know where I can find the agent config JSON schema ? I've searched on https://github.com/grafana/agent and https://grafana.com/docs/agent/latest/ but cant find anything like this ...

Grafana Agent can stream data back to you.

Distributed tracing with Envoy, Kuma, Grafana Agent, and Jaeger
At the time, Jaeger did not support OTEL format, which meant we needed our telemetry collector to export spans in Jaeger format. We were able to push this small fix to add a Jaeger exporter on the Agent.

Those of you using prometheus as part of your observability stack, what approach did you take to scaling to scrape 25+ clusters, and why? Is Thanos the answer to my problems?
Furthermore, would recommend Grafana Agent OR Prometheus Agent in this case since you probably don't need the Prometheus UI in each Cluster as well as the Alerting stuff that is inside Prometheus. (Mimir will do the ruling stuff for you). Grafana Agent also has an Operator mode if you want to use ServiceMonitor and PodMonitor CustomResources.

Prometheus Agent Mode, for Metric Forwarding
There were a bunch of alternatives to solve this before, like grafana agent [0], vm agent [1] or opentelemetry collector [2].

Shell script to monitor remote VPS?
This might be a reasonable use case for the Grafana Agent. It's basically a Prometheus instance, but without the local storage. Just forwards the data.

Issues with "victoria-metrics-k8s-stack", monitoring k8s targets
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/commit/128d2a7fa23c717e780655f03df83b03e3d637ac could be the reason

Easy Prometheus/Grafana Setup With Dashboards Repo
There is also victoriametrics-operator and victoriametrics k8s stack helm chart.

Centralize Prometheus: Bad Practice?
BTW, you can use victoria-metrics-k8s-stack as a drop-in replacement for kube-prometheus-stack.
-
What do you guys use to manage/monitor multiple clusters?
It is possible to replace kube-prom-stack with VictoriaMetrics stack in every k8s cluster - see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-k8s-stack/README.md
- Kubernetes Cluster uses a lot of RAM o.O

Server metrics
I'm monitoring CPU, memory, disk, network usage etc, the basic stuff available from kubernetes metrics via api. I also have a sidecar pod to send CPU temperature via opentsdb endpoint of Victoria Metrics. I run this helm chart which has operator and db - it can be added to grafana as a Prometheus data source.

Custom application monitoring with Victoria Metrics in k8s
There is a k8s stack Helm Chart which can provide the same functionality. Also check VictoriaMetrics Operator docs and our guides .

What is a simple, free monitoring tool for a Kubernetes cluster?
For metrics there is VictoriaMetrics operator and helm chart, which can be used for monitoring Kubernetes. See this guide.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing agent and helm-charts you can also consider the following projects:
vector - A high-performance observability data pipeline.
lens - Lens - The way the world runs Kubernetes
loki - Like Prometheus, but for logs.
local-path-provisioner - Dynamically provisioning persistent local storage with Kubernetes
PushProx - Proxy to allow Prometheus to scrape through NAT etc.
operator - Kubernetes operator for Victoria Metrics
helm-charts - Prometheus community Helm charts
thanos - Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities. A CNCF Incubating project.
kube-prometheus - Use Prometheus to monitor Kubernetes and applications running on Kubernetes
snmp_exporter - SNMP Exporter for Prometheus
VictoriaMetrics - VictoriaMetrics: fast, cost-effective monitoring solution and time series database
