Chapter 7. Using Prometheus and Grafana to monitor the router network

Procedure

1. Clone the qdr-monitoring GitHub repository.

   This repository contains the configuration files needed to set up Prometheus and Grafana to monitor AMQ Interconnect.

   $ git clone https://github.com/interconnectedcloud/qdr-monitoring

   Copy to Clipboard

2. Open the deploy-monitoring.sh script and set the NAMESPACE variable.

   Set NAMESPACE to be the name of the project into which you have deployed AMQ Interconnect.

   #!/bin/bash
   
   # Change the namespace to that of your project
   NAMESPACE=myproject
   ...

   Copy to Clipboard

3. Run the deploy-monitoring.sh script.

   This script creates and configures the OpenShift resources needed to deploy Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Grafana in your OpenShift project. It also configures two dashboards that provide metrics for the router network.

   $ ./deploy-monitoring.sh

   Copy to Clipboard

4. Create a Route for the prometheus, alertmanager, and grafana Services.

   $ oc expose service prometheus
   
   $ oc expose service alertmanager
   
   $ oc expose service grafana

   Copy to Clipboard

Procedure

1. In the OpenShift web console, switch to Networking Routes, and click the URL for the grafana Route.

   The Grafana Log In page appears.

2. Enter your user name and password, and then click Log In.

   The default Grafana user name and password are both admin. After logging in for the first time, you can change the password.
