Pipeline Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana

This documentation describes how to integrate tekton-pipelines metrics with Prometheus and Grafana monitoring stack.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following requirements are met first before moving ahead:

• Kube prometheus stack is installed
• Tekton pipeline is installed

Integration Overview

Currently, there are two methods for integrating tekton-pipelines metrics with the Prometheus and Grafana monitoring stack.

• Integration via Service Monitor
• Integration via edp-install Helm Chart

Integration via Service Monitor

To implement Pipeline Monitoring using the Service Monitor resource, follow the steps below:

1. Create a Service Monitor resource file with the following configuration:

   apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
   kind: ServiceMonitor
   metadata:
     labels:
       release: prom               # kube-prometheus-stack release name
     name: tekton-overview
   spec:
     endpoints:
       - interval: 10s
         path: /metrics
         port: http-metrics
         scrapeTimeout: 10s
     namespaceSelector:
       matchNames:
         - tekton-pipelines
     selector:
       matchLabels:
         app.kubernetes.io/component: controller
         app.kubernetes.io/part-of: tekton-pipelines

2. Apply the created resource to the tekton-pipelines namespace:

   kubectl apply -f service-monitor.yaml -n tekton-pipelines

3. Download the KubeRocketCi dashboard:

   a. Click on the dashboard menu.

   b. In the upper right corner, click on the New button. In the dropdown menu, click the Import:

   

   c. Select the downloaded 18321_rev*.json file:

   

   d. Type the name of the dashboard.

   e. Select the folder for the dashboard.

   f. Change the UID if necessary.

   g. Click the Import button.

As soon as the dashboard procedure is completed, you can track the newcoming metrics in the dashboard menu:

Integration via edp-install Helm Chart

The edp-install helm chart allows to integrate tekton-pipelines metrics with the Prometheus and Grafana stack through the edp-tekton.grafana.enabled field in values.yaml file. To enable integration, set the edp-tekton.grafana.enabled field to true and apply the changes to the cluster.

edp-tekton:
  grafana:
    enabled: true

After the changes are applied, the tekton-pipelines metrics will be available in the KRCI Tekton overview Grafana dashboard:
