Kube state metrics

To enable metrics expose from kubernetes with kube state metrics you need to deploy it in kubernetes with helm and set value

Bash

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
helm install kube-state-metrics prometheus-community/kube-state-metrics --namespace monitoring

after this deploy your kubernetes expose metrics in kubernetes on http://kube-state-metrics.monitoring.svc.cluster.local:8080/metrics

For access with basic auth and encryption from outside the kubernetes you need to deploy kubernetes ingress object with basic autentification and tls encryption. For this do.

Create a Secret for Basic Authentication

First, generate a .htpasswd file containing the username and a hashed password. For example, to create a user named prometheus with a password, use the htpasswd utility:

htpasswd -c auth prometheus

This command will prompt for a password and create a file named auth in the current directory. Next, create a Kubernetes Secret from this file:

kubectl create secret generic basic-auth --from-file=auth

This creates a Secret named basic-auth in your current namespace, containing the auth file as a key in its data.

Create self signed certificate as its created in section Authentication
Create kubernetes secret from this certificate

kubectl create secret tls kube-state-local-tls \
  --cert=exporter.crt \
  --key=exporter.key

Create the yaml file of ingress with tls and basic auth

nano kube-state-metrics.yaml

and paste into opened file

Bash

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: kube-state-metrics
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: basic  #basic auth annotation
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: basic-auth   #basic auth annotation
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: 'Authentication Required - user'   #basic auth annotation
spec:
  ingressClassName: nginx
  tls:
    - hosts:
        - kube-state-metrics.com
      secretName: kube-state-local-tls
  rules:
  - host: kube-state-metrics.com
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /metrics
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: kube-state-metrics
            port:
              number: 8080

Save and exit from file. And create ingress object. For this run

kubectl apply -f kube-state-metrics.yaml

After deploy ingress, metrics of your kubernetes will exposed on url: https://kube-state-metrics.com/metrics

after login to this URL you will see some like this:

Enjoy!)
