Pre-requisites

  • [Setup Prometheus]({{}})

Setup on Kubernetes

Install Grafana

  1. Install Grafana

    helm install grafana stable/grafana -n dapr-monitoring
    

    If you are Minikube user or want to disable persistent volume for development purpose, you can disable it by using the following command:

    helm install grafana stable/grafana -n dapr-monitoring --set    persistence.enabled=false
    
  2. Retrieve the admin password for Grafana login

    kubectl get secret --namespace dapr-monitoring grafana -o jsonpath="{.   data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode
    cj3m0OfBNx8SLzUlTx91dEECgzRlYJb60D2evof1%
    

    {{% alert title="Note" color="info" %}} Remove the % character from the password that this command returns. For example, the admin password is cj3m0OfBNx8SLzUlTx91dEECgzRlYJb60D2evof1. {{% /alert %}}

  3. Validation

    Ensure Grafana is running in your cluster (see last line below)

    kubectl get pods -n dapr-monitoring
    
    NAME                                                READY   STATUS       RESTARTS   AGE
    dapr-prom-kube-state-metrics-9849d6cc6-t94p8        1/1     Running      0          4m58s
    dapr-prom-prometheus-alertmanager-749cc46f6-9b5t8   2/2     Running      0          4m58s
    dapr-prom-prometheus-node-exporter-5jh8p            1/1     Running      0          4m58s

    dapr-prom-prometheus-pushgateway-688665d597-h4xx2   1/1     Running      0          4m58s
    dapr-prom-prometheus-server-694fd8d7c-q5d59         2/2     Running      0          4m58s
    grafana-c49889cff-x56vj                             1/1     Running      0          5m10s 
    

Configure Prometheus as data source

First you need to connect Prometheus as a data source to Grafana.

  1. Port-forward to svc/grafana

    $ kubectl port-forward svc/grafana 8080:80 -n dapr-monitoring
    Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 3000
    Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 3000
    Handling connection for 8080
    Handling connection for 8080
    
  2. Browse http://localhost:8080

  3. Login with admin and password

  4. Click Configuration Settings -> Data Sources

    data source

  5. Add Prometheus as a data soruce.

    add data source

  6. Enter Promethesus server address in your cluster.

    You can get the Prometheus server address by running the following command.

    kubectl get svc -n dapr-monitoring
    
    NAME                                 TYPE        CLUSTER-IP        EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)             AGE
    dapr-prom-kube-state-metrics         ClusterIP   10.0.174.177      <none>        8080/TCP            7d9h
    dapr-prom-prometheus-alertmanager    ClusterIP   10.0.255.199      <none>        80/TCP              7d9h
    dapr-prom-prometheus-node-exporter   ClusterIP   None              <none>        9100/TCP            7d9h
    dapr-prom-prometheus-pushgateway     ClusterIP   10.0.190.59       <none>        9091/TCP            7d9h
    dapr-prom-prometheus-server          ClusterIP   10.0.172.191      <none>        80/TCP              7d9h
    elasticsearch-master                 ClusterIP   10.0.36.146       <none>        9200/TCP,9300/TCP   7d10h
    elasticsearch-master-headless        ClusterIP   None              <none>        9200/TCP,9300/TCP   7d10h
    grafana                              ClusterIP   10.0.15.229       <none>        80/TCP              5d5h
    kibana-kibana                        ClusterIP   10.0.188.224      <none>        5601/TCP            7d10h
    
    

    In this Howto, the server is dapr-prom-prometheus-server.

    You now need to set up Prometheus data source with the following settings:

    • Name: Dapr
    • HTTP URL: http://dapr-prom-prometheus-server.dapr-monitoring
    • Default: On

    prometheus server

  7. Click Save & Test button to verify that the connection succeeded.

Import dashboards in Grafana

Next you import the Dapr dashboards into Grafana.

In the upper left, click the "+" then "Import".

You can now import built-in Grafana dashboard templates.

The Grafana dashboards are part of release assets with this URL https://github.com/dapr/dapr/releases/ You can find grafana-actor-dashboard.json, grafana-sidecar-dashboard.json and grafana-system-services-dashboard.json in release assets location.
