Azure AKS Metrics
Ship Azure AKS metrics using VictoriaMetrics vmagent
Vmagent is a tiny but mighty agent which helps you collect metrics from various sources and store them in VictoriaMetrics
Follow this step by step guide to get 'metrics' from your system to Logit.io:
Step 1 - Check you have an AKS cluster
This article assumes that you have an existing AKS cluster.
If you need an AKS cluster, see the AKS quickstart using the Azure CLI, using Azure PowerShell, or using the Azure Portal
Step 2 - Verify your version of Helm
Use the Helm version command to verify your version of Helm
helm version
Step 3 - Add VictoriaMetrics Helm Chart
Run the following to add the Victoria Metrics Helm chart.
helm repo add vm https://victoriametrics.github.io/helm-charts/
Step 4 - Export default configuration yaml
Export the default configuration to a yaml file so that we can make an edit.
helm show values vm/victoria-metrics-agent >> vmagent-kubernetes.yml
Step 5 - Add remoteWriteUrls
Open the exported configuration in a text editor to add in the remoteWriteUrls.
You will need to edit Line 65 of the vmagent-kubernetes.yml
From:
# WARN: need to specify at least one remote write url or one multi tenant url
remoteWriteUrls: []
# remoteWriteUrls:
# - http://vm-insert:8480/insert/0/prometheus
# - http://prometheus:8480/insert/0/prometheus
To:
# WARN: need to specify at least one remote write url or one multi tenant url
remoteWriteUrls: ["https://user:[email protected]:port/api/v1/write"]
# remoteWriteUrls:
# - http://vm-insert:8480/insert/0/prometheus
# - http://prometheus:8480/insert/0/prometheus
Step 6 - install Helm chart
You are now ready to install the helm chart.
helm --namespace=victoriametrics install vmagent vm/victoria-metrics-agent --create-namespace -f vmagent-kubernetes.yml
