helm chart unable to see cloudwatch exporter in prometheus target

8/20/2019

I am using helm chart for running prometheus and cloudwatch exporter and follow all require documentation.

helm upgrade --install prometheus prometheus

in same cluster i installed cloudwatch exporter with

helm upgrade --install ldm-emea-prometheus-cloudwatch-exporter ldm-emea-prometheus-cloudwatch-exporter

where i am installing these exporter from local file systam and rename it to ldm-emea-prometheus-cloudwatch-exporter since i will be having multiple accounts i need to manage

but when i installed both of these i am uanble to see target is listed in prometheus for cloudwatch exporter i defined.

do we have any way by which i can configure this in prometheus helm chart to pull details for this exporter

I am able to figure out problem. I was using prometheus-operator helm chart which is missing

scrape_timeout

bydefault it is 10seconds my cloudwatch exporter took more than 10 seconds. i started using prometheus helm chart instead of prometheus-operator as it is missing this configuration
