Enabling Prometheus Data Scraping for Nginx-Gateway Deployed in - AKS Setup with Managed Prometheus

 We have discussed how to setup Nginx-Gateway instead of Nginx ingress controller in AKS in previous posts listed in the bottom of this post. We have also looked at  "Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform" and "Deploying Azure Managed Grafana with Terraform" . For Nginx-Gateway deployed in AKS, we need to enable datascraping so that we can start monitring nginx metrices from managed grafana. Let's look at the steps required.

The expectation is getting metrices ti managed grafana as shown below.

AKS Pod Memory Usage Percentage Chart Using Managed Prometheus Data

 In previous post we have discussed "Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform" and "Enable Windows Data Scraping for AKS Managed Prometheus with Azure Managed Grafana". Understanding memory usage % for each application pod running in AKS, and setup alerts for higher uasge is useful to identify memory allocation requirements or any memory leaks in applications. Let's look at how to setup a chart in Azure Managed Grafana using AKS managed prometheus data.

The expectation is to get a chart as shown below.

Visualize Dead Letter Counts in RabbitMQ Deployed in AKS

 Using the prometheus data obtained by "Enabling Prometheus Data Scraping for RabbitMQ Cluster Deployed with RabbitMQ Cluster Operator on AKS with Managed Prometheus", let's create grafana chart to view any messages land in dead letter queues in the RabbitMQ cluster deployed in AKS.

The expection is to have a chart as shown below.

Enable Prometheus Data Scraping for RabbitMQ Cluster Deployed with RabbitMQ Cluster Operator on AKS with Managed Prometheus

 Once we have "Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform" and  "Set Up RabbitMQ Cluster in AKS Using RabbitMQ Cluster Operator", we can enable monitoring for RabbitMQ in AKS. To enable Prometheus data scraping for RabbitMQ cluster on AKS, we need to deploy a service monitor. Additionally, we can deploy a pod monitor as well to scrape metrics from the RabbitMQ clsuter operator. When data scraping enabled, we would be able to get the metrics data for RabbitMQ as shown below, on Azure managed grafana using Azure managed prometheus on AKS as the data source, via an Azure monitoring workspace.

Enable Windows Data Scraping for AKS Managed Prometheus with Azure Managed Grafana

 We have "Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform", however, that setup alone will not provide windows metrics from AKS clsuter to Azure managed Grafana. We have to addtionaly, setup Windows exporter and couple of additional configurations to make it work as decribed in the official Microsoft docs here. Let's look at step by step how to enable windows metrics for AKS with managed prometheus.

Expected outcome is getting metrics such as shown below to managed grafana and visualizing them.

Using Managed Prometheus Data to Setup Monitoring for AKS Deployed Bitnami Redis Cluster or Standalone

 Based on "Enable Prometheus Data Scraping for Bitnami Redis Cluster Deployed on AKS with Managed Prometheus" and "Enable Prometheus Data Scraping for Bitnami Redis Standalone Deployed on AKS with Managed Prometheus" discussed in the previous posts, let's look at using the managed prometheus data source in Azure Manged Grafana and how to setup monitoring for AKS deployed Bitnami Redis, with few examples.

The expectation is to have charts as shown below.

Enable Prometheus Data Scraping for Bitnami Redis Standalone Deployed on AKS with Managed Prometheus

 We have discussed "Enable Prometheus Data Scraping for Bitnami Redis Cluster Deployed on AKS with Managed Prometheus" in the previous post. Similar way we can setup Prometheus data scraping for standalone redis deployments on AKS as well. Here are the steps.

The expectaion is to have the metrics sidecar run with the standalone redis master and replica pods as shown below and setup a service monitor so that redis metrics data is made available in Azure managed grafana via managed prometheus on AKS. 

Enable Prometheus Data Scraping for Bitnami Redis Cluster Deployed on AKS with Managed Prometheus

 "Setup Redis Cluster with JSON and Search Modules on AKS with Binami Redis Using Custom Image" and "Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform" are explained in the previous posts. To enable setting up monitoring and alerting for the Redis Custer deployed in AKS the first step is to enable Prometheus data scraping in the Redis cluster we deployed on AKS. Let's look at the steps in this post.

The expectation is to have redis metrices available to Azure managed grafana via the managed prometheus in AKS as shown below.

Setup Managed Prometheus for AKS via Terraform

 We have discussed "Deploying Azure Managed Grafana with Terraform" ealier. Now that we have managed grafana available in Azure for the AKS clsuters we can enable managed prometheus. You can setup prometheus on your own in AKS however it is beter to use Azure managed prometheus with AKS as it would leverage the capabilities of Azure monitor and Azure managed grafana to better monitoring and alerting abilities and avoid additional work required to setup full monitoring and observability on your own in an AKS cluster. The offcial documentation is here for leaning more information on the setup.
