There is certainly a potential to add more of these. This is mostly meant to introduce the concept and cover a few critical parts. Signed-off-by: beorn7 <beorn@grafana.com>
Prometheus Mixin
This is work in progress. We aim for it to become a good role model for alerts and dashboards eventually, but it is not quite there yet.
The Prometheus Mixin is a set of configurable, reusable, and extensible alerts and dashboards for Prometheus.
To use them, you need to have jsonnet (v0.13+) and jb installed. If you
have a working Go development environment, it's easiest to run the following:
$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnet
$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnetfmt
$ go get github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler/cmd/jb
Note: The make targets lint and fmt need the jsonnetfmt binary, which is
available from v.0.16.0 in the Go implementation of jsonnet. If your jsonnet version is older than 0.16.0 you have to either upgrade or install the C++ version of
jsonnetfmt if you want to use make lint
or make fmt.
Next, install the dependencies by running the following command in this directory:
$ jb install
You can then build a prometheus_alerts.yaml with the alerts and a directory
dashboards_out with the Grafana dashboard JSON files:
$ make prometheus_alerts.yaml
$ make dashboards_out
