A grafana datasource plugin for Kuma
This datasource will enable you to do some queries to inspect Kuma.
It also has a mesh-graph
query type which will render a NodeGraph panel similar to what Kiali provides.
- Download the latest release from the release page.
- Follow the instructions to install a packaged plugin from the grafana docs.
- Because we are still pending approval from grafana, the plugin isn't signed. You will need to add this to your grafana configuration:
[plugins]
allow_loading_unsigned_plugins = "kumahq-kuma-datasource"
It's as easy as any datasource, you can follow the instructions on the Grafana docs.
The configuration for the datasource will look like:
You'll have to set the url to your global control plane api and pick an already configured prometheus datasource in the dropdown.
Once this is done you can go in explore
and pick the kuma-datasource with the mesh-graph
query type:
Add to the datasource configuration:
datasources:
- name: Prometheus
type: prometheus
access: proxy
url: http://prometheus-server.kuma-metrics
- name: Kuma
type: kumahq-kuma-datasource
url: http://kuma-control-plane.kuma-system:5681
jsonData:
prometheusDataSourceId: "1"
If you use kumactl install metrics
with a version of kumactl >= 1.3.0 the plugin will be setup automatically.
- Add links for logs and traces.
- Add possibility to filter services.
- Add query type for services/dataplane inspection.
- Support non HTTP services.
