14.1. FlowMetric [flows.netobserv.io/v1alpha1]

Description
FlowMetric is the API allowing to create custom metrics from the collected flow logs.
Type
object
PropertyTypeDescription

apiVersion

string

APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and might reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources

kind

string

Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers might infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds

metadata

object

Standard object’s metadata. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata

spec

object

FlowMetricSpec defines the desired state of FlowMetric The provided API allows you to customize these metrics according to your needs.

When adding new metrics or modifying existing labels, you must carefully monitor the memory usage of Prometheus workloads as this could potentially have a high impact. Cf https://rhobs-handbook.netlify.app/products/openshiftmonitoring/telemetry.md/#what-is-the-cardinality-of-a-metric

To check the cardinality of all Network Observability metrics, run as promql: count({name=~"netobserv.*"}) by (name).

Type
object
Required
  • metricName
  • type
PropertyTypeDescription

buckets

array (string)

A list of buckets to use when type is "Histogram". The list must be parsable as floats. When not set, Prometheus default buckets are used.

charts

array

Charts configuration, for the OpenShift Container Platform Console in the administrator view, Dashboards menu.

direction

string

Filter for ingress, egress or any direction flows. When set to Ingress, it is equivalent to adding the regular expression filter on FlowDirection: 0|2. When set to Egress, it is equivalent to adding the regular expression filter on FlowDirection: 1|2.

divider

string

When nonzero, scale factor (divider) of the value. Metric value = Flow value / Divider.

filters

array

filters is a list of fields and values used to restrict which flows are taken into account. Oftentimes, these filters must be used to eliminate duplicates: Duplicate != "true" and FlowDirection = "0". Refer to the documentation for the list of available fields: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/observability/network_observability/json-flows-format-reference.html.

labels

array (string)

labels is a list of fields that should be used as Prometheus labels, also known as dimensions. From choosing labels results the level of granularity of this metric, and the available aggregations at query time. It must be done carefully as it impacts the metric cardinality (cf https://rhobs-handbook.netlify.app/products/openshiftmonitoring/telemetry.md/#what-is-the-cardinality-of-a-metric). In general, avoid setting very high cardinality labels such as IP or MAC addresses. "SrcK8S_OwnerName" or "DstK8S_OwnerName" should be preferred over "SrcK8S_Name" or "DstK8S_Name" as much as possible. Refer to the documentation for the list of available fields: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/observability/network_observability/json-flows-format-reference.html.

metricName

string

Name of the metric. In Prometheus, it is automatically prefixed with "netobserv_".

remap

object (string)

Set the remap property to use different names for the generated metric labels than the flow fields. Use the origin flow fields as keys, and the desired label names as values.

type

string

Metric type: "Counter" or "Histogram". Use "Counter" for any value that increases over time and on which you can compute a rate, such as Bytes or Packets. Use "Histogram" for any value that must be sampled independently, such as latencies.

valueField

string

valueField is the flow field that must be used as a value for this metric. This field must hold numeric values. Leave empty to count flows rather than a specific value per flow. Refer to the documentation for the list of available fields: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/observability/network_observability/json-flows-format-reference.html.

14.1.3. .spec.charts

Description
Charts configuration, for the OpenShift Container Platform Console in the administrator view, Dashboards menu.
Type
array

14.1.4. .spec.charts[]

Description
Configures charts / dashboard generation associated to a metric
Type
object
Required
  • dashboardName
  • queries
  • title
  • type
PropertyTypeDescription

dashboardName

string

Name of the containing dashboard. If this name does not refer to an existing dashboard, a new dashboard is created.

queries

array

List of queries to be displayed on this chart. If type is SingleStat and multiple queries are provided, this chart is automatically expanded in several panels (one per query).

sectionName

string

Name of the containing dashboard section. If this name does not refer to an existing section, a new section is created. If sectionName is omitted or empty, the chart is placed in the global top section.

title

string

Title of the chart.

type

string

Type of the chart.

unit

string

Unit of this chart. Only a few units are currently supported. Leave empty to use generic number.

14.1.5. .spec.charts[].queries

Description
List of queries to be displayed on this chart. If type is SingleStat and multiple queries are provided, this chart is automatically expanded in several panels (one per query).
Type
array

14.1.6. .spec.charts[].queries[]

Description
Configures PromQL queries
Type
object
Required
  • legend
  • promQL
  • top
PropertyTypeDescription

legend

string

The query legend that applies to each timeseries represented in this chart. When multiple timeseries are displayed, you should set a legend that distinguishes each of them. It can be done with the following format: {{ Label }}. For example, if the promQL groups timeseries per label such as: sum(rate($METRIC[2m])) by (Label1, Label2), you might write as the legend: Label1={{ Label1 }}, Label2={{ Label2 }}.

promQL

string

The promQL query to be run against Prometheus. If the chart type is SingleStat, this query should only return a single timeseries. For other types, a top 7 is displayed. You can use $METRIC to refer to the metric defined in this resource. For example: sum(rate($METRIC[2m])). To learn more about promQL, refer to the Prometheus documentation: https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/

top

integer

Top N series to display per timestamp. Does not apply to SingleStat chart type.

14.1.7. .spec.filters

Description
filters is a list of fields and values used to restrict which flows are taken into account. Oftentimes, these filters must be used to eliminate duplicates: Duplicate != "true" and FlowDirection = "0". Refer to the documentation for the list of available fields: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/observability/network_observability/json-flows-format-reference.html.

  • matchType
PropertyTypeDescription

field

string

Name of the field to filter on

matchType

string

Type of matching to apply

value

string

Value to filter on. When matchType is Equal or NotEqual, you can use field injection with $(SomeField) to refer to any other field of the flow.
