Accessing metrics

Access metrics from the Thanos dashboard.

About this task

Thanos is a highly available open source Prometheus setup with long-term storage capabilities. Use the following procedure to access metrics.

Procedure

Extract your Thanos dashboard host.

oc get route thanos-querier -n openshift-monitoring

Tip: Prometheus is not exposed by default. If you are unable to access the Prometheus metrics, verify that the Prometheus metrics endpoints are working by running the following command.

oc port-forward -n openshift-user-workload-monitoring pod/prometheus-user-workload-0 9090

Then open the following URL in a web browser and review the status of the targets directly in the Prometheus UI.

http://localhost:9090/targets
