Access Dashboards

Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager dashboards can be accessed quickly using kubectl port-forward after running the quickstart via the commands below.

Kubernetes 1.10 or later is required.

You can also learn how to expose Prometheus/Alertmanager/Grafana via Ingress

Prometheus #

kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward svc/prometheus-k8s 9090

Open Prometheus on http://localhost:9090 in your browser.

Check out the alerts and rules pages with the pre-configured rules and alerts! This Prometheus is supposed to monitor your Kubernetes cluster and make sure to alert you if there’s a problem with it.

For your own applications we recommend running one or more other instances.

Grafana #

kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward svc/grafana 3000

Open Grafana on localhost:3000 in your browser. You can login with the username admin and password admin.

Perses (alternative to Grafana) #

If you have enabled the Perses addon instead of Grafana:

kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward svc/perses 8080

Open Perses on localhost:8080 in your browser. The bundled community-mixins dashboards for the default kube-prometheus stack are loaded from PersesDashboard CRs, and a Prometheus datasource is auto-configured. See dashboard coverage for details.

Alertmanager #

kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward svc/alertmanager-main 9093

Open Alertmanager on localhost:9093 in your browser.
