Getting Started

Installing via helm

2. If node-exporter has not been installed, install it first:

  helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
  helm repo update
  helm install node-exporter --namespace zebrium prometheus-community/prometheus-node-exporter

3. helm install zstats-collector zstats --namespace zebrium --repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zebrium/ze-stats/master/charts --set zebrium.collectorUrl=YOUR_ZE_STATS_API_URL,zebrium.authToken=YOUR_ZE_API_AUTH_TOKEN,zebrium.deployment=YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME

Please note TCP port 9100 must be accessible from other kubernetes nodes in the same cluster.

helm version 2

1. If node-exporter has not been installed, install it first:

  helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
  helm repo update
  helm install --namespace zebrium --name node-exporter prometheus-community/prometheus-node-exporter

2. helm install --namespace zebrium --name zstats-collector --repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zebrium/ze-stats/master/charts zstats --set zebrium.collectorUrl=YOUR_ZE_STATS_API_URL,zebrium.authToken=YOUR_ZE_API_AUTH_TOKEN,zebrium.deployment=YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME

Uninstalling via helm

If you used the "helm install" command to install zlog-collector chart, you should use the following command to delete:

Configuration

The Kubernetes metrics collector requires 4GiB memory for every 100 nodes in your Kubernetes Cluster.

For custom metrics, please run the command below to add Zebrium specific annotation for custom metrics:

kubectl annotate service CUSTOM_METRICS_SERVICE_NAME prometheus.zebrium.custom/scrape=true --namespace NAMESPACE

Setup

No special setup is required. By default Zebrium's Kubernetes metrics collector and collect metrics from every node.

Testing your installation

Once the collector has been deployed in your Kubernetes environment, your metrics and anomaly detection will be available in the Zebrium UI.
