Prometheus 2.0 \ Grafana 4.6.3 on Kubernetes 1.10.3 with RBAC ON

Helm chart for deploying Prometheus and Grafana with full built in Kubernetes pod and infrastructure dashboard

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes cluster up and running
• Helm
• Kubectl

Helm configuration

You will need to install helm and ensure it has sufficient deployment access. See helm-rbac.yaml Please note that this will create a helm service account with admin rights. You might want to reduce the scope of helm account based on your security requirements.

kubectl apply -f helm-rbac.yaml
helm init --service-account helm 

Note: for existing helm installs, use --upgrade to add new service account

Installation

Make sure you have kubernetes up and running and a kubectl context pointing to your target cluster.

cd helm

kubectl create namespace monitoring

helm install --name kube-prometheus prometheus -f ../values.yaml --namespace monitoring
helm install --name kube-grafana grafana -f ../values.yaml --namespace monitoring

Make sure everything is running

kubectl get pods -n monitoring

Once everything is running, you can port-forward to check grafana:

kubectl port-forward --namespace=monitoring $(kubectl get pods --namespace=monitoring --selector=app=grafana --output=jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}') 3000:3000
