Proactive infrastructure monitoring is an essential practice for ensuring the reliability and performance of critical IT services. This section provides an overview of deploying a monitoring solution based on the kube-prometheus-stack on your Kubernetes cluster. Kube-prometheus-stack is a popular open-source solution that simplifies deploying and managing a comprehensive monitoring stack for Kubernetes environments. It leverages Prometheus for time-series data collection and storage, and Grafana for data visualization and alerting.
Deployment monitoring is a distinct process from Vectice software deployment.
Benefits:
Easy setup with pre-configured monitoring for core Kubernetes components.
Reduced maintenance with automated Prometheus management.
Scalable to handle increased monitoring demands.
Components:
Prometheus: Collects and stores metrics.
Grafana: Visualizes metrics through dashboards.
Alertmanager (optional): Groups and routes alerts.
Deployment:
