# Cluster integrations (DEPRECATED) **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5.
|
|
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5.
|
|
|
|
GitLab provides several ways to integrate applications to your
|
|
Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
|
|
To enable cluster integrations, first add a Kubernetes cluster to a GitLab
|
|
[project](../project/clusters/add_remove_clusters.md) or
|
|
[group](../group/clusters/index.md) or
|
|
[instance](../instance/clusters/index.md).
|
|
|
|
You can install your applications manually as shown in the following sections, or use the
|
|
[Cluster management project template](management_project_template.md) that automates the
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
Although, the [Cluster management project template](management_project_template.md) still
|
|
requires that you manually do the last steps of these sections,
|
|
[Enable Prometheus integration for your cluster](#enable-prometheus-integration-for-your-cluster)
|
|
or [Enable Elastic Stack integration for your cluster](#enable-elastic-stack-integration-for-your-cluster)
|
|
depending on which application you are installing. [An issue exists](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/326565)
|
|
to automate this step.
|
|
|
|
Prometheus and Elastic Stack cluster integrations can only be enabled for clusters [connected through cluster certificates](../project/clusters/add_existing_cluster.md).
|
|
|
|
To enable Prometheus for your cluster connected through the [GitLab agent](agent/index.md), you can [integrate it manually](../project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
|
|
|
|
There is no option to enable Elastic Stack for your cluster if it is connected with the GitLab agent.
|
|
Follow this [issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/300230) for updates.

## Prometheus cluster integration
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/55244) in GitLab 13.11.
|
|
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5. However, you can **still use** Prometheus
|
|
for Kubernetes clusters connected to GitLab through the
|
|
[agent](agent/index.md) by [enabling Prometheus manually](../project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
|
|
|
|
You can integrate your Kubernetes cluster with
|
|
[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) for monitoring key metrics of your
|
|
apps directly from the GitLab UI.
|
|
|
|
Once enabled, you can see metrics from services available in the
|
|
[metrics library](../project/integrations/prometheus_library/index.md).
|
|
|
|
### Prometheus Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To use this integration:
|
|
|
|
1. Prometheus must be installed in your cluster in the `gitlab-managed-apps` namespace.
|
|
1. The `Service` resource for Prometheus must be named `prometheus-prometheus-server`.
|
|
|
|
You can manage your Prometheus however you like, but as an example, you can set
|
|
it up using [Helm](https://helm.sh/) as follows:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Create the required Kubernetes namespace
|
|
kubectl create ns gitlab-managed-apps
|
|
|
|
# Download Helm chart values that is compatible with the requirements above.
|
|
# These are included in the Cluster Management project template.
|
|
wget https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/cluster-management/-/raw/master/applications/prometheus/values.yaml
|
|
|
|
# Add the Prometheus community Helm chart repository
|
|
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
|
|
|
|
# Install Prometheus
|
|
helm install prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus -n gitlab-managed-apps --values values.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use your preferred installation method to install
|
|
Prometheus as long as you meet the requirements above.
|
|
|
|
### Enable Prometheus integration for your cluster
|
|
|
|
To enable the Prometheus integration for your cluster:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the cluster's page:
|
|
- For a [project-level cluster](../project/clusters/index.md), navigate to your project's
|
|
**Infrastructure > Kubernetes clusters**.
|
|
- For a [group-level cluster](../group/clusters/index.md), navigate to your group's
|
|
**Kubernetes** page.
|
|
- For an [instance-level cluster](../instance/clusters/index.md), navigate to your instance's
|
|
**Kubernetes** page.
|
|
1. Select the **Integrations** tab.
|
|
1. Check the **Enable Prometheus integration** checkbox.
|
|
1. Click **Save changes**.
|
|
1. Go to the **Health** tab to see your cluster's metrics.
|
|
|
|
## Elastic Stack cluster integration
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/61077) in GitLab 13.12.
|
|
|
|
You can integrate your cluster with [Elastic
|
|
Stack](https://www.elastic.co/elastic-stack/) to index and [query your pod
|
|
logs](../project/clusters/kubernetes_pod_logs.md).
|
|
|
|
### Elastic Stack Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To use this integration:
|
|
|
|
1. Elasticsearch 7.x or must be installed in your cluster in the
|
|
`gitlab-managed-apps` namespace.
|
|
1. The `Service` resource must be called `elastic-stack-elasticsearch-master`
|
|
and expose the Elasticsearch API on port `9200`.
|
|
1. The logs are expected to be [Filebeat container logs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.16/filebeat-input-container.html)
|
|
following the [7.x log structure](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.16/exported-fields-log.html)
|
|
and include [Kubernetes metadata](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.16/add-kubernetes-metadata.html).
|
|
|
|
You can manage your Elastic Stack however you like, but as an example, you can
|
|
use [this Elastic Stack chart](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/elastic-stack) to get up and
|
|
running:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Create the required Kubernetes namespace
|
|
kubectl create namespace gitlab-managed-apps
|
|
|
|
# Download Helm chart values that is compatible with the requirements above.
|
|
# These are included in the Cluster Management project template.
|
|
wget https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/cluster-management/-/raw/master/applications/elastic-stack/values.yaml
|
|
|
|
# Add the GitLab Helm chart repository
|
|
helm repo add gitlab https://charts.gitlab.io
|
|
|
|
# Install Elastic Stack
|
|
helm install elastic-stack gitlab/elastic-stack -n gitlab-managed-apps --values values.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
**Kubernetes** page.
|
|
1. Select the **Integrations** tab.
