Pool metrics exporter

The Mayastor pool metrics exporter runs as a sidecar container within every io-engine pod and exposes pool usage metrics in Prometheus format. These metrics are exposed on port 9502 using an HTTP endpoint /metrics and are refreshed every five minutes.

Supported metrics

Name	Type	Unit	Description
disk_pool_total_size_bytes	Gauge	Integer	Total size of the pool
disk_pool_used_size_bytes	Gauge	Integer	Used size of the pool
disk_pool_status	Gauge	Integer	Status of the pool (0, 1, 2, 3) = {"Unknown", "Online", "Degraded", "Faulted"}

# HELP disk_pool_status disk-pool status
# TYPE disk_pool_status gauge
disk_pool_status{node="worker-0",name="mayastor-disk-pool"} 1
# HELP disk_pool_total_size_bytes total size of the disk-pool in bytes
# TYPE disk_pool_total_size_bytes gauge
disk_pool_total_size_bytes{node="worker-0",name="mayastor-disk-pool"} 5.360320512e+09
# HELP disk_pool_used_size_bytes used disk-pool size in bytes
# TYPE disk_pool_used_size_bytes gauge

Integrating exporter with Prometheus monitoring stack

1. To install, add the Prometheus-stack helm chart and update the repo.

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

Then, install the Prometheus monitoring stack and set prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues to false. This enables Prometheus to discover custom ServiceMonitor for Mayastor.

helm install mayastor prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack -n mayastor --set prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false

1. Next, install the ServiceMonitor resource to select services and specify their underlying endpoint objects.

apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: ServiceMonitor
metadata:
  name: mayastor-monitoring
  labels:
    app: mayastor
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mayastor
  endpoints:
  - port: metrics

Upon successful integration of the exporter with the Prometheus stack, the metrics will be available on the port 9090 and HTTP endpoint /metrics.
