Kubegraph

This repository contains an "exporter" that will expose Kubernetes ressources (pod, replicaset, deployment, statefulset, daemonset) as Grafana Node Graph data source using this Grafana Plugin

kubegraph.mp4

This utilitary can help visualizing how this ressources interact and link with other in a dynamic way.

Great for demonstrating Kubernetes capabilities like rollout.

Usage

Deployment

You need a Kubernetes cluster (it could be something like kind or minkube ofc) with Grafana deploy on it.

Grafana also needs this Grafana Plugin to be installed

Then you can deploy this using :

kubectl apply -f manifests/deploy.yml

Do not forget to add the Node Graph Api using the service dns created by the kubectl command above

Querying

You can query this datasource directly inside a node panel. It will then show kubernetes ressources in a graph mode.

You can reduce the scope by adding this query parameter :

• ns for querying specific namespace
• selector for querying specific resources with this label

Example: ns=proxy&selector=app=nginx will make the data source return resources in proxy namesapce with app=nginx labels
