Deploy and connect to Prometheus (AMP) and Grafana for metrics search and visualisation

If you set deploy_amp to True in cluster-bootstrap/cdk.json then the template will deploy a managed Prometheus workspace as well as set up a local ephemeral and short-retention Prometheus on the cluster shipping your metrics to it.

If you set deploy_grafana_for_amp to True in cluster-bootstrap/cdk.json then the template will deploy a self-hosted/self-managed Grafana onto your cluster to visualise the metrics in the AMP. Alternatively, you can configure the AWS Managed Grafana (AMG) to do that instead.

We have deployed an in-VPC private Network Load Balancer (NLB) (i.e. Not on the Internet) to access this Grafana service to visualize the metrics from the Prometheus we've deployed onto the cluster.

To access this enter the following command kubectl get service grafana-for-amp --namespace=kube-system to find the address of this under EXTERNAL-IP. Alternatively, you can find the Grafana NLB in the AWS EC2 console and get its address from there.

The default username is admin and you get the initial password by running kubectl get secrets grafana-for-amp -n kube-system -o jsonpath='{.data.admin-password}'|base64 --decode (omitting the % that might appear at the end). You can change this password as well as create/managed additional users once you are signed in.

We have set up AMP as a datasource and loaded a few sample dashboards for you to visualise the metrics on your EKS cluster:

  • Cluster Monitoring for Kubernetes to see cluster and node-level CPU, memory, network IO and free disk space
  • Kubernetes Metrics - Deployments vs StatefulSets vs DaemonSets to drill down on your workloads whether they be deployments, statefulsets or daemonsets
  • Pod Stats & Info to drill down on everything about a particular Pod
  • Kubernetes apiserver to see some metrics about how the EKS Control Plane is performing and the load the Kubernetes API is experiencing

Click the word/link Home on the top of the Grafana page to see a list your Dashboards.
