Deploying Metrics Dashboards for K8s
TLDR Johnson had issues deploying metrics dashboards for k8s using an example from a GitHub repo. Prabhat suggested using kube-prometheus-stack for data sending and mentioned a future update with prebuilt dashboards based on the otel-collector.

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:40:32 UTCThese dashboards require data being sent from prometheus using kube-prometheus-stack
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:40:52 UTCWe will be shipping prebuilt dashboards based on otel-collector soon
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:40:55 UTClike next week
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:41:35 UTCWhat are you using to send metric data to OpenObserve ?
Johnson
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:41:47 UTCI'm currently using OTEL collector
Johnson
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:42:11 UTCWould there be any issues if I deploy the kube-prometheus-stack and OTEL collector?
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:42:29 UTCno
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:42:44 UTCyou will just have duplicate data
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:42:51 UTCin different streams
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:42:53 UTCso no worries
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:42:59 UTCis this a self hosted installation?
Johnson
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:43:18 UTCCorrect, this is a self-hosted k8s deployment using helm
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:43:25 UTCyou will be fine
Johnson
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:44:07 UTCGot it, thank you! Amazing product btw!
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:44:17 UTCThank you
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:44:25 UTCAre you using it just for metrics ?
Johnson
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:44:58 UTCNope, we're thinking about using it for log and APM as well
Johnson
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:45:10 UTCAlong with the RUM feature if that is available
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:45:19 UTCawesome. all are available
Prabhat
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:45:37 UTCCheck out automatic instrumentation feature as well
Johnson
Tue, 14 Nov 2023 23:46:23 UTCWill do, thanks again!

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 18:36:54 UTCHi Prabhat, I added the kube-prometheus-stack and was able to see some data show up on the dashboards this time but there are a few panels that still doesn't show..
Prabhat
Wed, 15 Nov 2023 19:04:34 UTCprobably metric names might have changed in the latest kube-prometheus-stack . This is also the reason, we moved to a pre-configured otel-collector bundled by our team. So dashboarding becomes much easier. I am working on the otel-collector based dashboards. Will be ready with them soon. Will let you know here.
