# Install this chart
|
|
|
|
## Preparation for Cloud mode (preferred)
|
|
|
|
1. Use an existing Grafana Cloud account or setup a new one. Then create an access token:
|
|
|
|
1. In Grafana go to Administration -> Users and Access -> Cloud access policies.
|
|
|
|
1. Click `Create access policy`.
|
|
|
|
1. Fill in the `Display name` field and check the `Write` check box for metrics, logs and traces. Then click `Create`.
|
|
|
|
1. On the newly created access policy click `Add token`.
|
|
|
|
1. Fill in the `Token name` field and click `Create`. Make a copy of the token as it will be used later on.
|
|
|
|
1. Create the meta namespace
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kubectl create namespace meta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Create secrets with credentials and the endpoint when sending logs, metrics or traces to Grafana Cloud.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kubectl create secret generic logs -n meta \
|
|
--from-literal=username=<logs username> \
|
|
--from-literal=password=<token>
|
|
--from-literal=endpoint='https://logs-prod-us-central1.grafana.net/loki/api/v1/push'
|
|
|
|
kubectl create secret generic metrics -n meta \
|
|
--from-literal=username=<metrics username> \
|
|
--from-literal=password=<token>
|
|
--from-literal=endpoint='https://prometheus-us-central1.grafana.net/api/prom/push'
|
|
|
|
kubectl create secret generic traces -n meta \
|
|
--from-literal=username=<traces username> \
|
|
--from-literal=password=<token>
|
|
--from-literal=endpoint='https://tempo-us-central1.grafana.net/tempo'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The logs, metrics and traces usernames are the `User / Username / Instance IDs` of the Loki, Prometheus/Mimir and Tempo instances in Grafana Cloud. From `Home` in Grafana click on `Stacks`. Then go to the `Details` pages of Loki, Prometheus/Mimir and Tempo.
|
|
|
|
1. Create a values.yaml file based on the [default one](../charts/meta-monitoring/values.yaml). Fill in the names of the secrets created above as needed. An example minimal values.yaml looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
namespacesToMonitor:
|
|
- loki
|
|
|
|
cloud:
|
|
logs:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
secret: "logs"
|
|
metrics:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
secret: "metrics"
|
|
traces:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
secret: "traces"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Preparation for Local mode
|
|
|
|
1. Create the meta namespace
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kubectl create namespace meta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Create a values.yaml file based on the [default one](../charts/meta-monitoring/values.yaml). An example minimal values.yaml looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
namespacesToMonitor:
|
|
- loki
|
|
|
|
cloud:
|
|
logs:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
metrics:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
traces:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
|
|
local:
|
|
grafana:
|
|
enabled:true
|
|
logs:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
metrics:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
traces:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
minio:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Installing the dashboards and rules on Grafana Cloud
|
|
|
|
## Installing the dashboards on Grafana Cloud
|
|
|
|
Only the files for the application monitored have to be copied. When monitoring Loki import dashboard files starting with 'loki-'.
|
|
|
|
For each of the dashboard files in charts/meta-monitoring/src/dashboards folder do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Click on 'Dashboards' in Grafana
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the 'New` button and select 'Import'
|
|
|
|
1. Drop the dashboard file to the 'Upload dashboard JSON file' drop area
|
|
|
|
1. Click 'Import'
|
|
|
|
## Installing the rules on Grafana Cloud
|
|
|
|
1. Select the rules files in charts/meta-monitoring/src/rules for the application to monitor. When monitoring Loki use loki-rules.yaml.
|
|
|
|
1. Install mimirtool as per the [instructions](https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/manage/tools/mimirtool/)
|
|
|
|
1. Create an access policy with Read and Write permission for Rules. Also create a token and record the token.
|
|
|
|
1. Get your cloud Prometheus endpoint and Instance ID from the `Prometheus` page in `Stacks`.
|
|
|
|
1. Use them to load the rules using mimirtool as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mimirtool rules load --address=<your_cloud_prometheus_endpoint> --id=<your_instance_id> --key=<your_cloud_access_policy_token> *.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. To check the rules you have uploaded run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mimirtool rules print --address=<your_cloud_prometheus_endpoint> --id=<your_instance_id> --key=<your_cloud_access_policy_token>
|
|
``` |
