Heapster
Heapster enables monitoring of Kubernetes Clusters using cAdvisor. It currently works only on GCE.
#####Run Heapster in a Kubernetes cluster with an Influxdb backend and Grafana
Step 1: Setup Kube cluster
Fork the Kubernetes repository and turn up a Kubernetes cluster, if you haven't already. Make sure kubectl.sh is exported.
Step 2: Start a Pod with Influxdb, grafana and elasticsearch
$ kubectl.sh create -f deploy/influx-grafana-pod.json
Step 3: Start Influxdb service
$ kubectl.sh create -f deploy/influx-grafana-service.json
Step 4: Update firewall rules
Open up ports tcp:80,8083,8086,9200.
$ gcutil addfirewall --allowed=tcp:80,tcp:8083,tcp:8086,tcp:9200 --target_tags=kubernetes-minion heapster
Step 5: Start Heapster Pod
$ kubectl.sh create -f deploy/heapster-pod.json
Verify that all the pods and services are up and running:
$ kubectl.sh get pods
$ kubectl.sh get services
To start monitoring the cluster using grafana, find out the the external IP of the minion where the 'influx-grafana' Pod is running from the output of kubectl.sh get pods
, and visit http://<minion-ip>:80
.
To access the Influxdb UI visit http://<minion-ip>:8083
.
