# prometheus-operator

Installs [prometheus-operator](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator) to create/configure/manage Prometheus clusters atop Kubernetes. This chart includes multiple components and is suitable for a variety of use-cases.

The default installation is intended to suit monitoring a kubernetes cluster the chart is deployed onto. It is closely matches the kube-prometheus project.
- [prometheus-operator](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator)
- [prometheus](https://prometheus.io/)
- [alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/)
- [node-exporter](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/prometheus-node-exporter)
- [kube-state-metrics](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/kube-state-metrics)
- [grafana](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/grafana)
- service monitors to scrape internal kubernetes components
  - kube-apiserver
  - kube-scheduler
  - kube-controller-manager
  - etcd
  - kube-dns/coredns
With the installation, the chart also includes dashboards and alerts.

The same chart can be used to run multiple prometheus instances in the same cluster if required. To achieve this, the other components need to be disabled - it is necessary to run only one instance of prometheus-operator and a pair of alertmanager pods for an HA configuration.

## TL;DR;

```console
$ helm install stable/prometheus-operator
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [prometheus-operator](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.  The chart can be installed multiple times to create separate Prometheus instances managed by Prometheus Operator.

## Prerequisites
  - Kubernetes 1.10+ with Beta APIs
  - Helm 2.10+ (For a workaround using an earlier version see [below](#helm-210-workaround))

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-operator
```

The command deploys prometheus-operator on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

The default installation includes Prometheus Operator, Alertmanager, Grafana, and configuration for scraping Kubernetes infrastructure.

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

CRDs created by this chart are not removed by default and should be manually cleaned up:

```
kubectl delete crd prometheuses.monitoring.coreos.com
kubectl delete crd prometheusrules.monitoring.coreos.com
kubectl delete crd servicemonitors.monitoring.coreos.com
kubectl delete crd alertmanagers.monitoring.coreos.com
```

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-operator --set prometheusOperator.enabled=true
```

Alternatively, one or more YAML files that specify the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/prometheus-operator -f values1.yaml,values2.yaml
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)


## Developing Prometheus Rules and Grafana Dashboards

This chart Grafana Dashboards and Prometheus Rules are just a copy from coreos/prometheus-operator and other sources, synced (with alterations) by scripts in [hack](hack) folder. In order to introduce any changes you need to first [add them to original repo](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/contrib/kube-prometheus/docs/developing-prometheus-rules-and-grafana-dashboards.md) and then sync there by scripts.

## Further Information

For more in-depth documentation of configuration options meanings, please see
- [Prometheus Operator](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator)
- [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/)
- [Grafana](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/grafana#grafana-helm-chart)

## Helm <2.10 workaround
The `crd-install` hook is required to deploy the prometheus operator CRDs before they are used. If you are forced to use an earlier version of Helm you can work around this requirement as follows:
1. Install prometheus-operator by itself, disabling everything but the prometheus-operator component, and also setting `prometheusOperator.serviceMonitor.selfMonitor=false`
2. Install all the other components, and configure `prometheus.additionalServiceMonitors` to scrape the prometheus-operator service.

# Migrating from coreos/prometheus-operator chart

The multiple charts have been combined into a single chart that installs prometheus operator, prometheus, alertmanager, grafana as well as the multitude of exporters necessary to monitor a cluster.

There is no simple and direct migration path between the charts as the changes are extensive and intended to make the chart easier to support.

The capabilities of the old chart are all available in the new chart, including the ability to run multiple prometheus instances on a single cluster - you will need to disable the parts of the chart you do not wish to deploy.

You can check out the tickets for this change [here](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/issues/592) and [here](https://github.com/helm/charts/pull/6765)

## High-level overview of Changes
The chart has 3 dependencies, that can be seen in the chart's requirements file:
https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/master/stable/prometheus-operator/requirements.yaml

### Node-Exporter, Kube-State-Metrics
These components are loaded as dependencies into the chart. The source for both charts is found in the same repository. They are relatively simple components.

### Grafana
The Grafana chart is more feature-rich than this chart - it contains a sidecar that is able to load data sources and dashboards from configmaps deployed into the same cluster. For more information check out the [documentation for the chart](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/grafana)

### Coreos CRDs
The CRDs are provisioned using crd-install hooks, rather than relying on a separate chart installation. If you already have these CRDs provisioned and don't want to remove them, you can disable the CRD creation by these hooks by passing `prometheusOperator.createCustomResource=false`

### Kubelet Service
Because the kubelet service has a new name in the chart, make sure to clean up the old kubelet service in the `kube-system` namespace to prevent counting container metrics twice

### Persistent Volumes
If you would like to keep the data of the current persistent volumes, it should be possible to attach existing volumes to new PVCs and PVs that are created using the conventions in the new chart. For example, in order to use an existing Azure disk for a helm release called `prometheus-migration` the following resources can be created:
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: pvc-prometheus-migration-prometheus-0
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  azureDisk:
    cachingMode: None
    diskName: pvc-prometheus-migration-prometheus-0
    diskURI: /subscriptions/f5125d82-2622-4c50-8d25-3f7ba3e9ac4b/resourceGroups/sample-migration-resource-group/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/pvc-prometheus-migration-prometheus-0
    fsType: ""
    kind: Managed
    readOnly: false
  capacity:
    storage: 1Gi
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Delete
  storageClassName: prometheus
  volumeMode: Filesystem
```
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  labels:
    app: prometheus
    prometheus: prometheus-migration-prometheus
  name: prometheus-prometheus-migration-prometheus-db-prometheus-prometheus-migration-prometheus-0
  namespace: monitoring
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  dataSource: null
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
  storageClassName: prometheus
  volumeMode: Filesystem
  volumeName: pvc-prometheus-migration-prometheus-0
status:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  capacity:
    storage: 1Gi
```

The PVC will take ownership of the PV and when you create a release using a persistent volume claim template it will use the existing PVCs as they match the naming convention used by the chart. For other cloud providers similar approaches can be used.
