Purpose

Create quick time to value on the installation and upkeep of the Prometheus and cAdvisor monitoring solution.

Usage

You will need to replace the environment variables for the dynamic-haproxy service.

• SE_API_TOKEN: This is your Container Application Center (CAC) API Token. It is used by confd to connect to the CAC Service Discovery layer.
• SE_LEADER_IP: The private IP address of the mesh leader.
• SE_SERVICE_DISCOVERY_KEY: The portion of the service discovery key to check for changes. cAdvisor containers write their address and port to this serivce key. (See below for how to construct them.)

Constructing a Service Discovery Key and Range

The construction of a Service Discovery key is done as follows:

• {{application_instance_name}} + "-" + {{service_name}} + "-"
  • {{exposed_ port}}

The application_instance_name is what you set when clicking the "Launch" button.

The service_name is defined when dragging a component into the editor graphically as the "Name". It is also seen as the service name in the YAML.

The exposed_port is the internally exposed port for the backend container. For cAdvisor, this will typically be 8080.

In the case of prometheus-cadvisor.yml, that would be the line reading "cadvisor:".

Given that you name the instance prom-cadv and the cAdvisor service "my-cadvisor", and that cAdvisor is listening on port 8080 inside the container the key would be

cadv-prom-my-cadvisor-8080
