Pharos Node Monitoring

We recommend deploying Prometheus, Pushgateway, and Grafana to monitor Pharos Node metrics.

Deploy Prometheus and pushgateway

If you have already deployed a Prometheus monitoring and alerting system, you can skip this step:

1. Create the Prometheus namespace:

kubectl create namespace prometheus

1. Add the prometheus-community chart repository:

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts

1. Deploy Prometheus:

helm upgrade -i prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus \
--namespace prometheus \
--set alertmanager.persistence.storageClass="gp2" \
--set server.persistentVolume.storageClass="gp2"

1. Verify that all pods in the prometheus namespace are in the READY state:

kubectl get pods -n prometheus

1. Get the Pushgateway Service IP/Domain:

kubectl -n prometheus-agent-namespace get svc

You should see the prometheus-pushgateway Service. Save the IP address of the Pushgateway Service.

Modify the metrics push configuration file
