Kubernetes Cloud Hosted

Why this matters: this covers cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters outside the major managed offerings (EKS/AKS/GKE) that have their own dedicated onboarding paths — the appliance-based approach here works for any cluster where you have kubectl/helm access and a running Prometheus instance, regardless of which cloud is hosting it.

Follow the below steps to onboard k8s cloud hosted cluster

Step-1: Configure node exporter sidecar to collect instance metadata.

Step-2: Log in to Kubernetes Shell.

  • Ensure that kubectl and helm are installed and can access your cluster.

Step-3: Enter the Prometheus URL in Mavvrik

  1. Capture the Prometheus URL associated with the K8s cluster:

a. Enter the following URL in Mavvrik UI

http://<prometheus-server-name>.<namespace>:<prometheus-internal-port>

b. To find the Prometheus service, run the following command in Kubernetes shell

kubectl get svc -n prometheus

  1. In URL Replace prometheus-server-name,namespace & prometheus-internal-port with your data

Find & Enter the namespace where prometheus service is installed

  1. Following screenshot shows the example of URL
