  • Openshift Monitoring - cAdvisor + Prometheus

    Posted on

    I tried to implement a monitoring solution for Openshift cluster based on Prometheus + node-exporter + grafana + cAdvisor.

    I have a huge problem with cAdvisor component. I did a lot of configuration (The changes always do with volumes), but none of them work well, containter restarting every ~2min or do not collect all data metrics (processes)

    example of configuration(with this config containter do not restart every 2min, but not collect processes) I know, i dont have /rootfs in volumes, but with this container work like 5s and goes down:

    containers:
        - image: >-
            google/cadvisor@sha256:fce642268068eba88c27c666e92ed4144be6188447a23825015884741cf0e352
          imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
          name: cadvisor-new-version
          ports:
            - containerPort: 8080
              protocol: TCP
          resources: {}
          securityContext:
            privileged: true
          terminationMessagePath: /dev/termination-log
          terminationMessagePolicy: File
          volumeMounts:
            - mountPath: '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct,cpu'
              name: sys
              readOnly: true
            - mountPath: /var/lib/docker
              name: docker
              readOnly: true
            - mountPath: /var/run/containerd/containerd.sock
              name: docker-socketd
              readOnly: true
      dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
      restartPolicy: Always
      schedulerName: default-scheduler
      securityContext: {}
      serviceAccount: cadvisor-sa
      serviceAccountName: cadvisor-sa
      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 300
      volumes:
        - hostPath:
            path: '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct'
          name: sys
        - hostPath:
            path: /var/lib/docker
          name: docker
        - hostPath:
            path: /var/run/containerd/containerd.sock
          name: docker-socketd
    

    i use a service account in my OS project with scc-privileged.

    • Openshift version - 3.6
    • Docker version - 1.12
    • cAdvisor version - I tried every one from v0.26.3 to newest

    I found a post that the problem can be the old version od docker, can anyone confirmed this?

    Maybe someone do the right configuration and implement cAdvisor on Openshift?
