Tools

We use a few tools to manage, monitor, and interact with our infrastructure. Some of these tools are not unique to the DevOps team, and may be shared by other teams.

All non-Discord services depend on your LDAP credentials, so ensure you have access and are in the DevOps team (you can validate this by trying to login to a service like Prometheus).

Grafana

Grafana provides access to some of the most important resources at your disposal. It acts as an aggregator and frontend for a large amount of data. These range from metrics, to logs, to stats. Some of the most important are listed below:

  • Service Logs / All App Logs Dashboard

Service logs is a simple log viewer which gives you access to a large majority of the applications deployed in the default namespace. The All App logs dashboard is an expanded version of that which gives you access to all apps in all namespaces, and allows some more in-depth querying.

  • Kubernetes Dashboard

This dashboard gives quick overviews of all the most important metrics of the Kubernetes system. For more detailed information, check out other dashboard such as Resource Usage, NGINX, PostgreSQL and Redis.

Prometheus Dashboard

This provides access to the Prometheus query console. You may also enjoy the Alertmanager Console.

King Arthur

King Arthur is a discord bot which provides information about, and access to our cluster directly in discord. Invoke its help command for more information (M-x help).
