GCP Metrics Collection

Kloudfuse integrates with the GCP cloud service to collect metrics.

Complete these tasks to successfully collect metrics:

Create Credentials File
Create Kubernetes Secret
Configure Kloudfuse to Collect Metrics

Create Credentials File

In the Google Cloud console, navigate to Menu > IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
Select your service account, or create a new one.

Ensure that the service account has Monitoring Viewer permissions to collect GCP metrics.
Select Keys > Add key > Create new key.
Select JSON, then click Create.
Click Close.

Create Kubernetes Secret

Create a Kubernetes secret from the credentials file. Name the file credentials.json.

kubectl create secret generic kfuse-sd-secret --from-file=<credentials json file> -n kfuse

Configure Kloudfuse to Collect Metrics

Update the helm values using the following configuration.

kfuse-cloud-exporter:
  Prometheus-stackdriver-exporter:
    enabled: true
    stackdriver:
      httpTimeout: 30s
      maxRetries: 3
      ## gcp project id
      projectId: "YOUR PROJECT ID"
      ## create this secret with access credentials to gcp account
      serviceAccountSecret: kfuse-sd-secret
      metrics:
        typePrefixes: "compute.googleapis.com"

yaml

Update the corresponding projectId of the GCP account and update the typePrefixes to collect the metrics from relevant services of GCP; see Google Cloud documentation on Google Cloud metrics.
