This document shows how to install Prometheus and Grafana to view metrics.
Watch this video for a demonstration of the Grafana metrics dashboard.
- Create namespace for monitoring tool
kubectl create namespace dapr-monitoring
- Install Prometheus
helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
helm repo update
helm install dapr-prom stable/prometheus -n dapr-monitoring
If you are minikube user or want to disable persistent volume for development purpose, you can disable it by using the following command.
helm install dapr-prom stable/prometheus -n dapr-monitoring --set alertmanager.persistentVolume.enable=false --set pushgateway.persistentVolume.enabled=false --set server.persistentVolume.enabled=false
- Install Grafana
helm install grafana stable/grafana -n dapr-monitoring
If you are minikube user or want to disable persistent volume for development purpose, you can disable it by using the following command.
helm install grafana stable/grafana -n dapr-monitoring --set persistence.enabled=false
- Retrieve admin password for Grafana Login
Note: remove
%
character from the password that this command returns. The admin password iscj3m0OfBNx8SLzUlTx91dEECgzRlYJb60D2evof1
.
kubectl get secret --namespace dapr-monitoring grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode
cj3m0OfBNx8SLzUlTx91dEECgzRlYJb60D2evof1%
- Validation
Ensure Prometheus and Grafana are running in your cluster.
kubectl get pods -n dapr-monitoring

- Port-forward to svc/grafana
$ kubectl port-forward svc/grafana 8080:80 -n dapr-monitoring

Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 3000
Handling connection for 8080
Handling connection for 8080
-
Browse
http://localhost:8080
-
Login with admin and password
-
Click Configuration Settings -> Data Sources
-
Add Prometheus as a data soruce.
-
Enter Promethesus server address in your cluster.
You can get the prometheus server address by running following command.
kubectl get svc -n dapr-monitoring
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
dapr-prom-kube-state-metrics ClusterIP 10.0.174.177 <none> 8080/TCP 7d9h

kibana-kibana ClusterIP 10.0.188.224 <none> 5601/TCP 7d10h
In this howto, the server is dapr-prom-prometheus-server
.
So you need to set up Prometheus data source with the below settings:
- Name:
Dapr
- HTTP URL:
http://dapr-prom-prometheus-server.dapr-monitoring
- Default: On
-
Click
Save & Test
button to verify that connected succeeded. -
Import Dapr dashboards.
In the upper left, click the "+" then "Import".
You can now import built-in Grafana dashboard templates. Please see the link for the templates.
- Find the dashboard that you imported and enjoy!
You can find more screenshots of Dapr dashboards here.
