前 言

Prometheus是一个用于监控和告警的开源系统。一开始由Soundcloud开发，后来在2016年，它迁移到CNCF并且称为Kubernetes之后最流行的项目之一。从整个Linux服务器到stand-alone web服务器、数据库服务或一个单独的进程，它都能监控。在Prometheus术语中，它所监控的事物称为目标（Target）。每个目标单元被称为指标（metric）。它以设置好的时间间隔通过http抓取目标，以收集指标并将数据放置在其时序数据库（Time Series Database）中。你可以使用PromQL查询语言查询相关target的指标。

本文中，我们将一步一步展示如何：

• 安装Prometheus（使用prometheus-operator Helm chart）以基于自定义事件进行监控/告警

• 创建和配置自定义告警规则，它将会在满足条件时发出告警

• 集成Alertmanager以处理由客户端应用程序（在本例中为Prometheus server）发送的告警

• 将Alertmanager与发送告警通知的邮件账户集成。

理解Prometheus及其抽象概念

从下图我们将看到所有组成Prometheus生态的组件：

以下是与本文相关的术语，大家可以快速了解：

• Prometheus Server：在时序数据库中抓取和存储指标的主要组件

抓取：一种拉取方法以获取指标。它通常以10-60秒的时间间隔抓取。

Target：检索数据的server客户端

• 服务发现：启用Prometheus，使其能够识别它需要监控的应用程序并在动态环境中拉取指标

• Alert Manager：负责处理警报的组件（包括silencing、inhibition、聚合告警信息，并通过邮件、PagerDuty、Slack等方式发送告警通知）。

• 数据可视化：抓取的数据存储在本地存储中，并使用PromQL直接查询，或通过Grafana dashboard查看。

理解Prometheus Operator

根据Prometheus Operator的项目所有者CoreOS称，Prometheus Operator可以配置原生Kubernetes并且可以管理和操作Prometheus和Alertmanager集群。

该Operator引入了以下Kubernetes自定义资源定义（CRDs）：Prometheus、ServiceMonitor、PrometheusRule和Alertmanager。如果你想了解更多内容可以访问链接：

https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator/blob/master/Documentation/design.md

在我们的演示中，我们将使用PrometheusRule来定义自定义规则。

首先，我们需要使用 stable/prometheus-operator Helm chart来安装Prometheus Operator，下载链接：

https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/prometheus-operator

默认安装程序将会部署以下组件：prometheus-operator、prometheus、alertmanager、node-exporter、kube-state-metrics以及grafana。默认状态下，Prometheus将会抓取Kubernetes的主要组件：kube-apiserver、kube-controller-manager以及etcd。

安装Prometheus软件

前期准备

要顺利执行此次demo，你需要准备以下内容：

• 一个Google Cloud Platform账号（免费套餐即可）。其他任意云也可以

• Rancher v2.3.5（发布文章时的最新版本）

• 运行在GKE（版本1.15.9-gke.12.）上的Kubernetes集群（使用EKS或AKS也可以）

• 在计算机上安装好Helm binary

启动一个Rancher实例

直接按照这一直观的入门指南进行操作即可：

https://rancher.com/quick-start

使用Rancher部署一个GKE集群

使用Rancher来设置和配置你的Kubernetes集群：

https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/hosted-kubernetes-clusters/gke/

部署完成后，并且为kubeconfig文件配置了适当的credential和端点信息，就可以使用kubectl指向该特定集群。

部署Prometheus 软件

首先，检查一下我们所运行的Helm版本

$ helm version
version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.1.2", GitCommit:"d878d4d45863e42fd5cff6743294a11d28a9abce", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.13.8"}

当我们使用Helm 3时，我们需要添加一个stable 镜像仓库，因为默认状态下不会设置该仓库。

$ helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
"stable" has been added to your repositories

$ helm repo update
Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...Successfully got an update from the "stable" chart repository
Update Complete. ⎈ Happy Helming!⎈

$ helm repo list
NAME    URL
stable  https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com

Helm配置完成后，我们可以开始安装prometheus-operator

$ kubectl create namespace monitoring
namespace/monitoring created

$ helm install --namespace monitoring demo stable/prometheus-operator

NAME: demo
LAST DEPLOYED: Sat Mar 14 09:40:35 2020
NAMESPACE: monitoring
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
NOTES:
The Prometheus Operator has been installed. Check its status by running:
  kubectl --namespace monitoring get pods -l "release=demo"

Visit https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator for instructions on how
to create & configure Alertmanager and Prometheus instances using the Operator.

规 则

除了监控之外，Prometheus还让我们创建触发告警的规则。这些规则基于Prometheus的表达式语言。只要满足条件，就会触发告警并将其发送到Alertmanager。之后，我们会看到规则的具体形式。

我们回到demo。Helm完成部署之后，我们可以检查已经创建了什么pod：

$ kubectl -n monitoring get pods
NAME                                                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager-0   2/2     Running   0          61s
demo-grafana-5576fbf669-9l57b                          3/3     Running   0          72s

demo-prometheus-node-exporter-ll8zx                    1/1     Running   0          72s
demo-prometheus-node-exporter-nqnr6                    1/1     Running   0          72s
demo-prometheus-node-exporter-sdndf                    1/1     Running   0          72s
demo-prometheus-operator-operator-b9c9b5457-db9dj      2/2     Running   0          72s
prometheus-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus-0       3/3     Running   1          50s

为了从web浏览器中访问Prometheus和Alertmanager，我们需要使用port转发。

由于本例中使用的是GCP实例，并且所有的kubectl命令都从该实例运行，因此我们使用实例的外部IP地址访问资源。

$ kubectl port-forward --address 0.0.0.0 -n monitoring prometheus-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus-0 9090  >/dev/null 2>&1 &

$ kubectl port-forward --address 0.0.0.0 -n monitoring alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager-0 9093  >/dev/null 2>&1 &

“Alert”选项卡向我们展示了所有当前正在运行/已配置的告警。也可以通过查询名称为prometheusrules的CRD从CLI进行检查：

$ kubectl -n monitoring get prometheusrules
NAME                                                            AGE

我们也可以检查位于prometheus容器中prometheus-operator Pod中的物理文件。

$ kubectl -n monitoring exec -it prometheus-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus-0 -- /bin/sh
Defaulting container name to prometheus.
Use 'kubectl describe pod/prometheus-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus-0 -n monitoring' to see all of the containers in this pod.

在容器中，我们可以检查规则的存储路径：

/prometheus $ ls /etc/prometheus/rules/prometheus-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus-rulefiles-0/
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager.rules.yaml                    monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-system-apiserver.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-etcd.yaml                                  monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-system-controller-manager.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-general.rules.yaml                         monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-system-kubelet.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-k8s.rules.yaml                             monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-system-scheduler.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kube-apiserver-error.yaml                  monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-system.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kube-apiserver.rules.yaml                  monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-node-exporter.rules.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kube-prometheus-node-recording.rules.yaml  monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-node-exporter.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kube-scheduler.rules.yaml                  monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-node-network.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-absent.yaml                     monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-node-time.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-apps.yaml                       monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-node.rules.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-resources.yaml                  monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus-operator.yaml
monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-kubernetes-storage.yaml                    monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus.yaml

为了详细了解如何将这些规则加载到Prometheus中，请检查Pod的详细信息。我们可以看到用于prometheus容器的配置文件是etc/prometheus/config_out/prometheus.env.yaml。该配置文件向我们展示了文件的位置或重新检查yaml的频率设置。

$ kubectl -n monitoring describe pod prometheus-demo-prometheus-operator-prometheus-0

让我们清理默认规则，使得我们可以更好地观察我们将要创建的那个规则。以下命令将删除所有规则，但会留下monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager.rules。

$ kubectl -n monitoring delete prometheusrules $(kubectl -n monitoring get prometheusrules | grep -v alert)

$ kubectl -n monitoring get prometheusrules
NAME                                          AGE
demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager.rules   8m53s

请注意：我们只保留一条规则是为了让demo更容易。但是有一条规则，你绝对不能删除，它位于monitoring-demo-prometheus-operator-general.rules.yaml中，被称为看门狗。该告警总是处于触发状态，其目的是确保整个告警流水线正常运转。

让我们从CLI中检查我们留下的规则并将其与我们将在浏览器中看到的进行比较。

让我们移除所有默认告警并创建一个我们自己的告警：

$ kubectl -n monitoring edit prometheusrules demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager.rules
prometheusrule.monitoring.coreos.com/demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager.rules edited

我们的自定义告警如下所示：

$ kubectl -n monitoring describe prometheusrule demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager.rules
Name:         demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager.rules
Namespace:    monitoring
Labels:       app=prometheus-operator

      For:        1m
      Labels:
        Severity:  critical
Events:            <none>

以下是我们创建的告警的选项：

• annotation：描述告警的信息标签集。

• expr：由PromQL写的表达式

• for：可选参数，设置了之后会告诉Prometheus在定义的时间段内告警是否处于active状态。仅在此定义时间后才会触发告警。

• label：可以附加到告警的额外标签。如果你想了解更多关于告警的信息，可以访问： https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/alerting_rules/

现在我们已经完成了Prometheus告警的设置，让我们配置Alertmanager，使得我们能够通过电子邮件获得告警通知。Alertmanager的配置位于Kubernetes secret对象中。

$ kubectl get secrets -n monitoring

我们只对alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager感兴趣。让我们看一下：

kubectl -n monitoring get secret alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
  alertmanager.yaml: Z2xvYmFsOgogIHJlc29sdmVfdGltZW91dDogNW0KcmVjZWl2ZXJzOgotIG5hbWU6ICJudWxsIgpyb3V0ZToKICBncm91cF9ieToKICAtIGpvYgogIGdyb3VwX2ludGVydmFsOiA1bQogIGdyb3VwX3dhaXQ6IDMwcwogIHJlY2VpdmVyOiAibnVsbCIKICByZXBlYXRfaW50ZXJ2YWw6IDEyaAogIHJvdXRlczoKICAtIG1hdGNoOgogICAgICBhbGVydG5hbWU6IFdhdGNoZG9nCiAgICByZWNlaXZlcjogIm51bGwiCg==
kind: Secret
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-03-11T18:06:24Z"
  labels:
    app: prometheus-operator-alertmanager
    chart: prometheus-operator-8.12.1
    heritage: Tiller
    release: demo
  name: alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager
  namespace: monitoring
  resourceVersion: "3018"
  selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/monitoring/secrets/alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager
  uid: 6baf6883-f690-47a1-bb49-491935956c22
type: Opaque

alertmanager.yaml字段是由base64编码的，让我们看看：

$ echo 'Z2xvYmFsOgogIHJlc29sdmVfdGltZW91dDogNW0KcmVjZWl2ZXJzOgotIG5hbWU6ICJudWxsIgpyb3V0ZToKICBncm91cF9ieToKICAtIGpvYgogIGdyb3VwX2ludGVydmFsOiA1bQogIGdyb3VwX3dhaXQ6IDMwcwogIHJlY2VpdmVyOiAibnVsbCIKICByZXBlYXRfaW50ZXJ2YWw6IDEyaAogIHJvdXRlczoKICAtIG1hdGNoOgogICAgICBhbGVydG5hbWU6IFdhdGNoZG9nCiAgICByZWNlaXZlcjogIm51bGwiCg==' | base64 --decode
global:
  resolve_timeout: 5m
receivers:
- name: "null"
route:
  group_by:
  - job
  group_interval: 5m
  group_wait: 30s
  receiver: "null"
  repeat_interval: 12h
  routes:
  - match:
      alertname: Watchdog
    receiver: "null"

正如我们所看到的，这是默认的Alertmanager配置。你也可以在Alertmanager UI的Status选项卡中查看此配置。接下来，我们来对它进行一些更改——在本例中为发送邮件：

$ cat alertmanager.yaml
global:
  resolve_timeout: 5m
route:
  group_by: [Alertname]
  # Send all notifications to me.
  receiver: demo-alert
  group_wait: 30s
  group_interval: 5m
  repeat_interval: 12h
  routes:
  - match:
      alertname: DemoAlertName
    receiver: 'demo-alert'

receivers:
- name: demo-alert
  email_configs:
  - to: your_email@gmail.com
    from: from_email@gmail.com
    # Your smtp server address
    smarthost: smtp.gmail.com:587
    auth_username: from_email@gmail.com
    auth_identity: from_email@gmail.com
    auth_password: 16letter_generated token # you can use gmail account password, but better create a dedicated token for this
    headers:
      From: from_email@gmail.com
      Subject: 'Demo ALERT'

首先，我们需要对此进行编码：

$  cat alertmanager.yaml | base64 -w0

我们获得编码输出后，我们需要在我们将要应用的yaml文件中填写它：

cat alertmanager-secret-k8s.yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
  alertmanager.yaml: <paste here de encoded content of alertmanager.yaml>
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager
  namespace: monitoring
type: Opaque

$ kubectl apply -f alertmanager-secret-k8s.yaml
Warning: kubectl apply should be used on resource created by either kubectl create --save-config or kubectl apply
secret/alertmanager-demo-prometheus-operator-alertmanager configured

该配置将会自动重新加载并在UI中显示更改。

接下来，我们部署一些东西来对其进行监控。对于本例而言，一个简单的nginx deployment已经足够：

$ cat nginx-deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1 # for versions before 1.9.0 use apps/v1beta2
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  replicas: 3 # tells deployment to run 2 pods matching the template
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.7.9
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

$ kubectl apply -f nginx-deployment.yaml
deployment.apps/nginx-deployment created

根据配置yaml，我们有3个副本：

$ kubectl get pods
NAME                                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nginx-deployment-5754944d6c-7g6gq   1/1     Running   0          67s
nginx-deployment-5754944d6c-lhvx8   1/1     Running   0          67s
nginx-deployment-5754944d6c-whhtr   1/1     Running   0          67s

在Prometheus UI中，使用我们为告警配置的相同表达式：

rate (container_cpu_usage_seconds_total{pod_name=~"nginx-.*", image!="", container!="POD"}[5m])

我们可以为这些Pod检查数据，所有Pod的值应该为0。

让我们在其中一个pod中添加一些负载，然后来看看值的变化，当值大于0.04时，我们应该接收到告警：

$  kubectl exec -it nginx-deployment-5754944d6c-7g6gq -- /bin/sh
# yes > /dev/null

该告警有3个阶段：

• Inactive：不满足告警触发条件

• Pending：条件已满足

• Firing：触发告警

我们已经看到告警处于inactive状态，所以在CPU上添加一些负载，以观察到剩余两种状态：

告警一旦触发，将会在Alertmanager中显示：

Alertmanger配置为当我们收到告警时发送邮件。所以此时，如果我们检查收件箱，会看到类似以下内容：

总 结

我们知道监控的重要性，但是如果没有告警，它将是不完整的。发生问题时，告警可以立即通知我们，让我们立即了解到系统出现了问题。而Prometheus涵盖了这两个方面：既有监控解决方案又通过Alertmanager组件发出告警。本文中，我们看到了如何在Prometheus配置中定义告警以及告警在触发时如何到达Alertmanager。然后根据Alertmanager的定义/集成，我们收到了一封电子邮件，其中包含触发的告警的详细信息（也可以通过Slack或PagerDuty发送）
