helm-charts VS helm-charts

Prometheus can be deployed using the Prometheus Helm Chart. This helm chart contains a lot of features such as the already mentioned Push Gateway, Alert Manager and so on. For simplicity reasons of this tutorial I will not show all the Helm chart configuration but you can see a real example used by me here.

Building upon Bartłomiej Płotka's insightful blog on Prometheus and its passthrough agent mode, this post dives into implementing multi-cluster Prometheus support. Notably, the official inclusion of support in the widely-used kube-prometheus-stack came with the release in July 2023, making it easier to extend Prometheus monitoring across clusters.

The first thing you'll need, of course, is at least one backend to store metrics. So install Prometheus now:

For the request following, something like jeager https://www.jaegertracing.io/, because you are talking more about tracing than necessarily logging. For just monitoring, https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack would be the starting point, then it depends. Nginx gives metrics out of the box, then you can pull in the dashboard like https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/14314-kubernetes-nginx-ingress-controller-nextgen-devops-nirvana/ , or full metal with something like service mesh monitoring which would provably fulfil most of the requirements

kube-prometheus-stack is a Helm chart that contains several components to monitor the Kubernetes cluster, along with Grafana dashboards Grafana Dashboards to visualize the data. This option will be used in this article.

This one I highly recommend: https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack

We use kube-prometheus-stack for metrics and have added the K8s views dashboards from grafana-dashboards-kubernetes. You should check out the k8s-views-global dashboard. I believe it's just what you are looking for.

You should take a look at "kube-prometheus-stack". It not only includes prometheus, node-exporter and Grafana but also a ton of preconfigured alerts and dashboards. Will save you a lot of work!

Since their are different ways to install what exactly did you install? Vanilla charts , stack, operator? https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts

Which helm Chart do you use? You should probably use this one https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/loki-distributed

We were able to keep this config in Grafana UI but if the pod (K8S) is fail the details is deleted, we are using latest prom helm .

Grafana Labs in its Helm repository provides chart that can install Loki stack also with other complementary tools like Logstash or Prometheus.

Once you have this ready for your cluster install Grafana from Grafana helm chart from here

grafana/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/loki-stack/Chart.yaml

Using the helm chart values from values.yaml here https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/grafana/values.yaml

Hey everyone! This is probably an easy question for those of you with experience. I’m using helm to install loki-stack and cannot figure out how to enable the query frontend with the Helm chart.
