13. The demo setup (Kubernetes)

In the real world scenario we wouldn’t want to automatically provision services like RabbitMQ, MySQL or Eureka each time we deploy a new application to production. Typically production is provisioned manually (using automated solutions). In our case, before you deploy to production you can provision the sc-pipelines-prod namespace using the k8s-helper.sh. Just call

$ ./k8s-helper.sh setup-prod-infra

Use Helm to install Prometheus. We will point it to the services deployed to our cluster.

Create a file called values.yaml.

values.yaml.

      # * `prometheus.io/path`: If the metrics path is not `/metrics` override this.

Next, let’s create the prometheus installation with the predefined values.

$ helm install --name sc-pipelines-prometheus stable/prometheus -f values.yaml

Then you should see the following output

NOTES:
The Prometheus server can be accessed via port 80 on the following DNS name from within your cluster:
sc-pipelines-prometheus-prometheus-server.default.svc.cluster.local


Get the Prometheus server URL by running these commands in the same shell:
  export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app=prometheus,component=server" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
  kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 9090


The Prometheus alertmanager can be accessed via port 80 on the following DNS name from within your cluster:
sc-pipelines-prometheus-prometheus-alertmanager.default.svc.cluster.local


Get the Alertmanager URL by running these commands in the same shell:
  export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app=prometheus,component=alertmanager" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
  kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 9093


The Prometheus PushGateway can be accessed via port 9091 on the following DNS name from within your cluster:
sc-pipelines-prometheus-prometheus-pushgateway.default.svc.cluster.local


Get the PushGateway URL by running these commands in the same shell:
  export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app=prometheus,component=pushgateway" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
  kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 9093

For more information on running Prometheus, visit:
https://prometheus.io/

Use Helm to install Grafana

$ helm install --name sc-pipelines-grafana stable/grafana

NOTES:
1. Get your 'admin' user password by running:

   kubectl get secret --namespace default sc-pipelines-grafana-grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.grafana-admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo

2. The Grafana server can be accessed via port 80 on the following DNS name from within your cluster:

   sc-pipelines-grafana-grafana.default.svc.cluster.local

   Get the Grafana URL to visit by running these commands in the same shell:

     export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace default -l "app=sc-pipelines-grafana-grafana,component=grafana" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
     kubectl --namespace default port-forward $POD_NAME 3000

3. Login with the password from step 1 and the username: admin

Perform the aforementioned steps and add the Grafana’s datasource as Prometheus with URL http://sc-pipelines-prometheus-prometheus-server.default.svc.cluster.local

You can pick the dashboard via the Grafana ID (2471). This is the default dashboard for the Spring Cloud Pipelines demo apps.

If you have both apps (github-webhook and github-analytics) running on production we can now trigger the messages. Download the JSON with a sample request from the github-webhook repository. Next, pick one of the github-webhook pods and forward its port locally to a port 9876 like this:

$ kubectl port-forward --namespace=sc-pipelines-prod $( kubectl get pods --namespace=sc-pipelines-prod | grep github-webhook | head -1 | awk '{print $1}' ) 9876:8080

next send a couple of requests (more than 4).

$ curl -X POST http://localhost:9876/ -d @path/to/issue-created.json \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"

Then if you check out Grafana you’ll see that you went above the threshold.
