How to Monitor a Kubernetes Cluster in 2022 with Prometheus & Grafana

Today we take a look at the kube-prometheus stack. Create a Kubernetes 1.23 cluster and deploy all the monitoring components. We take a look at how everything is stitched up, which will help you understand not only how to monitor a latest version of kubernetes, but also how to monitor future version.

As someone who has been working in Kubernetes full time for the last 6 months, this video is a great learning source. Thanks Marcel.

[Mano-iing]

As always Big Thanks Marcel. You Sir, are a master at explaining K8s and other stuff.

[niketsingh]

A big thank you, Marcel! 🙏🏻 Your hard work is much appreciated! 🥇

Hey marcel, great video, really appreciate your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼, i think you should take this prom setup to next level by creating a detailed video on Thanos and it’s components( humble suggestion). 🙂

[DamienMalakay]

As always, awesome video! Very helpful!

[shaheerzaman]

This was fantastic! It would be great if you could do a video on how to integrate Datadog with kubernetes

[Fayaz-Rehman]

Good Better Best - Never Let Them Rest - Thank you.

[carlomagno]

Muchas gracias por explicar tan claramente tantas cosas indispensables para entender cómo trabajar con estas tecnologías tan nuevas, complejas e impresionantes

[rupeshegishte]

Thank you so much marcel, this is very informative

[stefanschmidbauer]

Great video. Already looking forward to a follow up.

Kube Prometheus is awesome project. I wish they maintained official Helm chart. Working with vanilla yaml files isn't scalable in the long term.

[loicgregoire]

This video is pure gold 😀 Thanks a lot

Would be great to see a video on how you are using prometheus, grafana, and alert manager for visualizations and alerting. I am assuming you are customizing the system you generated in this video, to some degree.

It would also be great to see how you are monitoring workloads. Is it just as simple as creating service monitors?

[bensiewert]

When I try to do the port forwarding part, it just times out. Not sure why. It is a remote cluster on digital ocean.

[kanakorn.h]

Great, but how to I use Prometheus to monitor the servers outside the K8S cluster?

[madrum]

What, if anything, are other viewers using to store data collected by Prometheus? TIA
