Chapter 3. Enabling observability in Connectivity Link

Procedure

1. To enable observability for Kuadrant and any Gateways, set enable: true in the observability section in your Kuadrant custom resource as follows:

   apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1beta1
   kind: Kuadrant
   metadata:
     name: kuadrant-sample
   spec:
     observability:
       enable: true

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   When enabled, Connectivity Link creates ServiceMonitors and PodMonitors for its components in the Connectivity Link Operator namespace. A single set of monitors is also created in each Gateway namespace to scrape metrics from any Gateways, and in the corresponding Gateway system namespace, in this case, the istio-system namespace.

2. Check the created monitors as follows:

   kubectl get servicemonitor,podmonitor -A -l kuadrant.io/observability=true

   Note

   You can make changes to monitors after they are created if needed. Monitors are only ever created or deleted, and not updated or reverted. If you decide the default monitors are not suitable, you can set enable: false and create your own ServiceMonitor or PodMonitor definitions, or configure Prometheus directly.
