Monitoring kubernetes services or deployment through Prometheus

12/27/2017

I have a k8s cluster v1.8. I was trying to setup prometheus on my cluster so basically am trying to monitor services and deployment. But with the below config-map i am not able to view any of my services or deployments.

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: prometheus
data:
  prometheus.yml: |-
    global:
      scrape_interval: 15s
   
    scrape_configs:

      # `http`.

      # This TLS & bearer token file config is used to connect to the actual scrape
      # endpoints for cluster components. This is separate to discovery auth
      # configuration because discovery & scraping are two separate concerns in
      # Prometheus. The discovery auth config is automatic if Prometheus runs inside
      # the cluster. Otherwise, more config options have to be provided within the

My target page output looks like this https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q6F6O.png . What i want from Prometheus is to give k8s service or deployment metrics data also. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

As said in the docs for the configuration job called 'kubernetes-pods' that you pasted above:

prometheus.io/scrape: Only scrape pods that have a value of true

So your pods need to have that annotation set to true in order for Prometheus to scrape the configured path. Note that you can configure the path and port where your applications are exposing metrics using annotations like prometheus.io/path and prometheus.io/port.
