An open-source tool for monitoring metrics of target applications deployed within a Kubernetes cluster

Kubernautics is an open-source cluster monitoring solution that looks to prioritize ease of deployment, ease of use, and a low resource footprint. The program is placed directly into the cluster it is meant to monitor, and interfaces with your Prometheus deployment to provide detailed, reliable metric data. When you arrive at the UI, at your disposal are two dynamic tools to shape your monitoring experience; the dashboard of prometheus-fed cluster and application metrics, and the kubernetes cluster visualizer.

Features

1. Realtime Monitoring Dashboard

  • Kubernautics compiles all metrics you want to track and constantly pulls information based off of the custom metric scrape rate

2. Customizable Metrics

  • An open-source tool for monitoring metrics of target applications deployed within a Kubernetes cluster

3. Cluster Visualization

  • An open-source tool for monitoring metrics of target applications deployed within a Kubernetes cluster

Getting Started with Kubernautics

Building the Container Image

The Kubernautics container image must currently be built from source. Download a copy of this repo, and once inside run —

docker build . -t kubernautics:latest

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

— to yield an image that can be deployed into your cluster.

Deploying to your cluster

Kubernautics currently assumes it can communicate with prometheus at the following address —

http://prometheus-kube-prometheus-prometheus:9090

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

— which is the default configuration when Prometheus is deployed via the Community Helm Chart. We plan to make this configurable in the future.

For a reference deployment, you can run npm run cluster:prod up from inside the repository. You will need minikube and devspace installed locally on your machine; see the setup guide for developers for more info.

How to Contribute
