_Note: This chart was formerly named `prometheus-operator` chart, now renamed to more clearly reflect that it installs the `kube-prometheus` project, within which Prometheus Operator is only one component._

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.10+ with Beta APIs
- Helm 2.12+ (If using Helm < 2.14, [see below for CRD workaround](#Helm-fails-to-create-CRDs))

## Add repos
## Get Repo Info

```console
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com/
helm repo update
```

## Install
_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Install Chart

```console
helm install [RELEASE_NAME] prometheus-community/kube-prometheus
# Helm 3
$ helm install [RELEASE_NAME] prometheus-community/kube-prometheus

# Helm 2
$ helm install --name [RELEASE_NAME] prometheus-community/kube-prometheus
```

### Dependencies
_See [configuration](#configuration) below._

_See [helm install](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_install/) for command documentation._

By default this chart installs [dependent charts](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_dependency/):
## Dependencies

By default this chart installs additional, dependent charts:

- [stable/kube-state-metrics](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/kube-state-metrics)
- [stable/prometheus-node-exporter](https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/prometheus-node-exporter)
- [stable/grafana](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/grafana)

### Multiple releases

The same chart can be used to run multiple Prometheus instances in the same cluster if required. To achieve this, it is necessary to run only one instance of prometheus-operator and a pair of alertmanager pods for an HA configuration, while all other components need to be disabled. To disable a dependency during installation, set `kubeStateMetrics.enabled`, `nodeExporter.enabled` and `grafana.enabled` to `false`.
To disable dependencies during installation, see [multiple releases](#multiple-releases) below.

## Configuration

## Uninstall Chart

## Uninstall

### Migrating from stable/prometheus-operator chart

A major chart version change (like v1.2.3 -> v2.0.0) indicates that there is an incompatible breaking change needing manual actions.

### From 8.x to 9.x

Version 9 of the helm chart removes the existing `additionalScrapeConfigsExternal` in favour of `additionalScrapeConfigsSecret`. This change lets users specify the secret name and secret key to use for the additional scrape configuration of prometheus. This is useful for users that have prometheus-operator as a subchart and also have a template that creates the additional scrape configuration.

### From 7.x to 8.x

Due to new template functions being used in the rules in version 8.x.x of the chart, an upgrade to Prometheus Operator and Prometheus is necessary in order to support them. First, upgrade to the latest version of 7.x.x

```sh
helm upgrade [RELEASE_NAME] prometheus-community/kube-prometheus --version 7.5.0
```

Then upgrade to 8.x.x

```sh
helm upgrade [RELEASE_NAME] prometheus-community/kube-prometheus --version [8.x.x]
```

Minimal recommended Prometheus version for this chart release is `2.12.x`

### From 6.x to 7.x

Due to a change in grafana subchart, version 7.x.x now requires Helm >= 2.12.0.

### From 5.x to 6.x

Due to a change in deployment labels of kube-state-metrics, the upgrade requires `helm upgrade --force` in order to re-create the deployment. If this is not done an error will occur indicating that the deployment cannot be modified:

```console
invalid: spec.selector: Invalid value: v1.LabelSelector{MatchLabels:map[string]string{"app.kubernetes.io/name":"kube-state-metrics"}, MatchExpressions:[]v1.LabelSelectorRequirement(nil)}: field is immutable
```

If this error has already been encountered, a `helm history` command can be used to determine which release has worked, then `helm rollback` to the release, then `helm upgrade --force` to this new one

## prometheus.io/scrape

The prometheus operator does not support annotation-based discovery of services, using the `serviceMonitor` CRD in its place as it provides far more configuration options. For information on how to use servicemonitors, please see the documentation on the `prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator` documentation here: [Running Exporters](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/user-guides/running-exporters.md)

By default, Prometheus discovers ServiceMonitors within its namespace, that are labeled with the same release tag as the prometheus-operator release.
Sometimes, you may need to discover custom ServiceMonitors, for example used to scrape data from third-party applications. An easy way of doing this, without compromising the default ServiceMonitors discovery, is allowing Prometheus to discover all ServiceMonitors within its namespace, without applying label filtering. To do so, you can set `prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues` to `false`.

#### CoreOS CRDs

The CRDs are provisioned using crd-install hooks, rather than relying on a separate chart installation. If you already have these CRDs provisioned and don't want to remove them, you can disable the CRD creation by these hooks by passing `prometheusOperator.createCustomResource=false` (not required if using Helm v3).
