Container and self-managed cluster integration

Container storage metric integration

VMP supports real-time monitoring of Pod-level storage usage metrics for applications deployed in VKE clusters, ensuring the stability of configuration management and service discovery in distributed systems. This topic describes how to integrate container storage metrics into VMP.

Prerequisites

A VMP workspace has been created. For details, see Creating workspaces.

VKE has been activated.

A cluster has been created. For details, see Creating clusters.

Container storage has been deployed in the cluster.

Cloud native observability has been enabled for the cluster, and prometheus-agent has been installed in the cluster. For details, see Enabling observability.

tip

The VMP workspace and the VKE cluster must be deployed in the same region.

Procedure

In the top navigation bar, select the target region.

In the left navigation pane, click Access Center > Component. Click Container storage metric to start configuring an access task.

Configure the deployment environment of the collector. Click VKE environment and select an associated cluster.

Click Create access task to configure access task details. When the configuration is complete, click Confirm.

Parameter	Description
Task name	Specify the name of the integration task. It can contain Chinese characters, letters (uppercase and lowercase), digits, and underscores (_), and must be 1 to 40 characters in length.
Project	The project to which the instance belongs. ‌A project is a resource management mechanism that Volcano Engine provides to enable grouping of cloud resources by project. Project-based authorization with Identity and Access Management (IAM) facilitates resource isolation and data security, as well as cost calculation across cloud resources. For details, see Project management.
Tags	Labels of the instance. A tag is a key-value pair that allows you to classify and aggregate cloud resources from different dimensions. You can use tags for resource authorization and bill splitting. For details, see Managing tags. tip You can add up to 50 labels.
JobLabel	You can select labels from Kubernetes Pod objects, and the label value will be used as the job label for all metrics. For example, if you set the JobLabel parameter to foo and the Pod label is foo: bar, the system will add a job="bar" label to all collected metrics. If this parameter is left empty, the default job label for the metrics consists of the namespace and name of the PodMonitor object, which is in the format <namespace>/<name>.
Metric Relabel configuration	Configure metric relabeling. For more details, refer to Metric relabeling.

Validate results

After the configuration is complete, you can view the status and details of the task. Check whether the integration task is running as expected.

In the left navigation bar, click Access center > Access task.

Click VKE environment. You can view the status of the integration task in the task list.

Monitoring information

Query metrics

You can quickly query and display metric data by using the Explore feature of VMP. For more details, refer to Querying metrics.

Create dashboards

You can install Grafana in a VKE cluster or an ECS instance and then use Grafana to view metrics and create dashboards.

Configure alerts

You can configure alerts in the Alert Center module of the VMP console. For details, see Creating alert rules.
