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.

Introduction to Helm: Comparison to its less-scary cousin APT
Generally I felt as if I was diving in the deepest of waters without the correct equipement and that was horrifying. Unfortunately to me, I had to dive even deeper before getting equiped with tools like ArgoCD, and k8slens. I had to start working with... HELM.

Imagine the best Kubernetes Dashboard. What does it have?
Indeed you can, with several "paid" features removed, like log tailing and pod shells. They deliberately hobbled the product. If you want to use Lens, my advice is pay for the supported version.

observing logs from Kubernetes pods without headaches
yes I know there is lens, but it does not allow me to see logs of multiple pods at same time and what is even more important it is not friendly for ephemeral clusters - in my case with help of kind I am recreating whole cluster each time from scratch

Fastest way to set up an k8s environment ?
You probably don't need Rancher unless you need a GUI or manage multiple clusters, Lens or k9s might be a better fit for your use case.

'ekscli' vs. 'aws eks'
`openlens` is now preferred over `Lens`, it has everything you need and none of the fluff that Lens wants to charge you for.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing agent and lens you can also consider the following projects:
vector - A high-performance observability data pipeline.
rancher - Complete container management platform
loki - Like Prometheus, but for logs.
k9s - 🐶 Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!
PushProx - Proxy to allow Prometheus to scrape through NAT etc.
Portainer - Making Docker and Kubernetes management easy.
operator - Kubernetes operator for Victoria Metrics
kubelogin - kubectl plugin for Kubernetes OpenID Connect authentication (kubectl oidc-login)
thanos - Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities. A CNCF Incubating project.
octant - Highly extensible platform for developers to better understand the complexity of Kubernetes clusters.
helm-charts - Helm charts for VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs and ecosystem
argo - Workflow Engine for Kubernetes
