Running Heapster in Kubernetes with a Google Cloud Monitoring and Google Cloud Logging backend

The Google Cloud Monitoring and Logging backends only works in Google Compute Engine today.

Setup a Kubernetes cluster

Bring up a Kubernetes cluster, if you haven't already. Ensure that kubecfg.sh is exported.

Start all of the pods and services

Start the Heapster service on the cluster:

$ kubectl.sh create -f deploy/kube-config/google/

Heapster metrics are now being exported to Google Cloud Monitoring as custom metrics. Heapster events are now being exported to Google Cloud Logging as custom logs.

Metrics Dashboard

To access the Google Cloud Monitoring dashboard go to: https://app.google.stackdriver.com/. Create a new dashboard and add the desired charts. Select the Custom Metric Resource Type and all Heapster metrics are under the kubernetes.io namespace. You can narrow down the query by the metric labels provided.

It is also possible to query the Google Cloud Monitoring data directly using their custom metric read API.

Events Dashboard

To access events via Google Cloud Logging dashboard go to Google Developer Console and select 'Logs' under 'Monitoring' in your project. In the Logs dashboard, select custom.googleapis.com as the logs source.
