ETCD kubernets and dockers

[natanael_mendes]

Good day for everybody, i wanna know if is possible monitor ETCD(kubernetes dockers) with dynatrace or dynatrace extension

Hello,

We do have an etcd extension for OpenShift.  You can see our github page, as well as view in the Dynatrace hub.

openshift is a requirement? in my case we dont use openshift.

[bradley_danyo]

Unfortunately, the extension only currently works with Openshift.  You can open up a product idea with our Dynatrace team if that is something you'd wish to see in the Dynatrace platform.

You could also try the Prometheus extension (if you have this data there) or using the Metrics API endpoint to ingest metrics.

[florian_g]

usually, ETCD offers metrics in Prometheus format - you can leverage our feature to scrape Prometheus endpoints in k8s to get these metrics to Dynatrace. In K8s I would recommend this approach over the extension based approach mentioned by @bradley_danyo

Hello,

Has anyone actually implemented ingestion of etcd Prometheus metrics? I'm running Dynatrace Operator 0.11.2 (full stack). I added the following in etcd pods but no etcd metrics are ingested. I have Prometheus metrics being ingested from several other pods from the same k8s cluster (NOT Openshift)

    metrics.dynatrace.com/http.auth: builtin:default
    metrics.dynatrace.com/port: "2379"
    metrics.dynatrace.com/scrape: "true"
    metrics.dynatrace.com/secure: "true"
    metrics.dynatrace.com/tls.ca.crt: secretdynatrace-dev-tls-etcd-own:ca.crt
    metrics.dynatrace.com/tls.crt: secretdynatrace-dev-tls-etcd-own:tls.crt
    metrics.dynatrace.com/tls.key: secretdynatrace-dev-tls-etcd-own:tls.key

Appreciate any help/insights

Thanks. Tibebe

FYI, I can get metrics manually from the etcd metrics endpoint  (host:2379/metrics) with no issue

[Julius_Loman]

Did you check the response code the operator returned? Use the dsfm metric

dsfm:active_gate.kubernetes.api.query_count and filter for desired endpoint.

Hi @Julius_Loman. Thanks much for the insight.

The cluster I am testing with (a sandbox) has very limited # of HUs/license. I'll try on another cluster.

Thanks. Tibebe
