Monitoring and Logging external services in Kubernetes


DevOps, Kubernetes

Greetings to all!

As a matter of fact I haven't found so far any generalized guide on logging and monitoring of metrics from external systems to
Kubernetes on the web. Here I want to share with you my own version. First of all it is supposed that you have already got working
Prometheus and other services.

As an example I use third-party data for stateful service RDBMS PostgreSQL in a Docker container. In our company we also use the Helm
package manager, and you'll find how it works below. You can see same examples in this article below. You can see same examples in
this article below. For a complete solution we create a nested chart.

Logging
Many companies use ELK stack for centralized logging (Elasticsearch + Logstash + kibana). In our case we don't need to index the
content and I apply lightweight Loki. It is available and can be installed as a Helm package. We added it as subchart having changed
values for ingress & pv.

values.yaml

We use Loki Docker Logging Driver for log sending to instance Loki.
You have to set it up as a Docker plugin on all hosts from which you want to get logs. There are several ways to use plugin. My choice is
to put it in the yaml file of Docker Compose which is a part of Ansible playbook.

postgres.yaml

Metrics
PostgreSQL metrics are collected to Prometheus with a postgres_exporter. See extension of Ansible playbook file below.

postgres.yaml

For better clarity the names of external stateful services are presented with Endpoints.

postgres-service.yaml

Prometheus settings for getting data from postgres_exporter are tuned by means of value editing in the subchart.

values.yaml

For visualisation of data install a proper dashboard for Grafana and add datasource. That can be done with values of Grafana subchart.
See how it looks below.

How it looks

I hope my first brief article in English will help you to understand basic ideas of this solution and save your time when adjusting
monitoring and logging procedures of external services in Loki/Prometheus in Kubernetes.
