OddEye Kubernetes plugin requires up and running Kube State Metrics server

Install

Installation of Kube State Metrics server is easy and can be done by executing a single command :

go get k8s.io/kube-state-metrics

This will Install Kube State Metrics server to your $GOPATH using go get: You can find more information about More info about Kube State Metrics server here : https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics

You can run Kube State Metrics in foreground by executing :

$GOPATH/bin/kube-state-metrics --port=6868 --telemetry-port=8081 --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf

It's recommended to create systemd service and run Kube State Metrics on startup;

cat > /etc/systemd/system/kube-state-metrics.service <<-EOF

Reload systemd and enable service .

systemctl  daemon-reload  
systemctl  enable kube-state-metrics.service 
systemctl  start  kube-state-metrics.service 

Now Kube State Metrics server is controlled by systemd and will start in background during OS boot.

Enable OddEye agent check :

cd ${OE_AGENT_HOME}/checks_enabled
ln -s ../checks_available/check_kube_state_metrics.py ./
Configure

If you are using default installation, no additional configuration is needed. If you need to monitor remote server or you Kube State Metrics server is running on different IP:PORT, edit conf/k8s.ini section kube-state-metrics and set metrics parameter with value matching your needs. You can enable/disable per pod statistics collection by setting podinfo : False/True (Default is True)
