Monitoring

Monitoring Capsule Items and Tenants

The Capsule dashboard allows you to track the health and performance of Capsule manager and tenants, with particular attention to resources saturation, server responses, and latencies. Prometheus and Grafana are requirements for monitoring Capsule.

Tenants

Instrumentation for Tenants.

Metrics

The following Metrics are exposed and can be used for monitoring:

Custom Metrics

You can gather more information based on the status of the tenants. These can be scrapped via Kube-State-Metrics CustomResourcesState Metrics. With these you have the possibility to create custom metrics based on the status of the tenants.

Here as an example with the kube-prometheus-stack chart, set the following values:

kube-state-metrics:
  rbac:
    extraRules:
      - apiGroups: [ "capsule.clastix.io" ]
        resources: ["tenants"]
        verbs: [ "list", "watch" ]
  customResourceState:
    enabled: true
    config:
      spec:
        resources:
          - groupVersionKind:
              group: capsule.clastix.io
              kind: "Tenant"
              version: "v1beta2"
            labelsFromPath:
              name: [metadata, name]
            metrics:
              - name: "tenant_size"
                help: "Count of namespaces in the tenant"
                each:
                  type: Gauge
                  gauge:
                    path: [status, size]
                commonLabels:
                  custom_metric: "yes"
                labelsFromPath:
                  capsule_tenant: [metadata, name]
                  kind: [ kind ]
              - name: "tenant_state"
                help: "The operational state of the Tenant"
                each:
                  type: StateSet
                  stateSet:
                    labelName: state
                    path: [status, state]
                    list: [Active, Cordoned]
                commonLabels:
                  custom_metric: "yes"
                labelsFromPath:
                  capsule_tenant: [metadata, name]
                  kind: [ kind ]
              - name: "tenant_namespaces_info"
                help: "Namespaces of a Tenant"
                each:
                  type: Info
                  info:
                    path: [status, namespaces]
                    labelsFromPath:
                      tenant_namespace: []
                commonLabels:
                  custom_metric: "yes"
                labelsFromPath:
                  capsule_tenant: [metadata, name]
                  kind: [ kind ]

This example creates three custom metrics:

  • tenant_size is a gauge that counts the number of namespaces in the tenant.
  • tenant_state is a state set that shows the operational state of the tenant.
  • tenant_namespaces_info is an info metric that shows the namespaces of the tenant.
