This plugin generates metrics derived from the state of the following Kubernetes resources:
- daemonsets
- deployments
- endpoints
- ingress
- nodes
- persistentvolumes
- persistentvolumeclaims
- pods (containers)
- services
- statefulsets
Kubernetes is a fast moving project, with a new minor release every 3 months. As
such, we will aim to maintain support only for versions that are supported by
the major cloud providers; this is roughly 4 release / 2 years.
This plugin supports Kubernetes 1.11 and later.
Series Cardinality Warning
This plugin may produce a high number of series which, when not controlled
for, will cause high load on your database. Use the following techniques to
avoid cardinality issues:
Configuration:
[[inputs.kube_inventory]]
## URL for the Kubernetes API
url = "https://$HOSTIP:6443"
## Namespace to use. Set to "" to use all namespaces.
# namespace = "default"
## Use bearer token for authorization. ('bearer_token' takes priority)
## If both of these are empty, we'll use the default serviceaccount:
## at: /run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token
# bearer_token = "/path/to/bearer/token"
## OR
# bearer_token_string = "abc_123"
## Set response_timeout (default 5 seconds)
# response_timeout = "5s"
## Optional Resources to exclude from gathering
## Leave them with blank with try to gather everything available.
## Values can be - "daemonsets", deployments", "endpoints", "ingress", "nodes",
## "persistentvolumes", "persistentvolumeclaims", "pods", "services", "statefulsets"
# resource_exclude = [ "deployments", "nodes", "statefulsets" ]
## Optional Resources to include when gathering
## Overrides resource_exclude if both set.
# resource_include = [ "deployments", "nodes", "statefulsets" ]
## selectors to include and exclude as tags. Globs accepted.
## Note that an empty array for both will include all selectors as tags
## selector_exclude overrides selector_include if both set.
selector_include = []
selector_exclude = ["*"]
## Optional TLS Config
# tls_ca = "/path/to/cafile"
# tls_cert = "/path/to/certfile"
# tls_key = "/path/to/keyfile"
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
## Uncomment to remove deprecated metrics.
# fielddrop = ["terminated_reason"]
Kubernetes Permissions
If using RBAC authorization, you will need to create a cluster role to list "persistentvolumes" and "nodes". You will then need to make an aggregated ClusterRole that will eventually be bound to a user or group.
