Platform:

This guide describes how Charmed Kubeflow (CKF) and Canonical Observability Stack (COS) can be integrated using Juju. This integration enables monitoring Kubeflow deployments.

The COS integration allows CKF to collect and analyse control plane data. User namespace data, such as logs from model training, cannot be monitored.

Requirements

Integrate with COS

As per COS best practices, this guide assumes that COS and CKF are deployed each using their own controllers. This means that after the deployment, there is a kubeflow and a cos model. These have associated the kf-controller and cos-controller controllers, respectively. These are the default names for the controllers. Users can set any other name during the controller bootstrapping.

Integrating CKF with COS involves adding relations to Prometheus, that provides metrics and alerts, and to Grafana, which provides dashboards. To avoid cross-model relations and ensure COS is accessible, Kubeflow components are related to COS through the Grafana Agent charm. Data flows from CKF charms through the Grafana agent to COS.

All the code examples provided throughout this guide can be run from any host terminal with Juju installed in the host machine.

Deploy Grafana Agent

Within the kubeflow model, deploy the Grafana agent as follows:

juju deploy -m kf-controller:kubeflow grafana-agent-k8s --channel=stable

Get COS URLs

You can navigate the User Interface (UI) of charms such as Grafana and Prometheus using Catalogue.

You can get their related URLs by running the following code:

juju show-unit -m cos-controller:cos catalogue/0 --format json | jq '.[]."relation-info".[]."application-data".url | select (. != null)'

You should see something like this:

"http://10.64.140.43/cos-grafana"
"http://10.64.140.43/cos-prometheus-0"
"http://10.64.140.43/cos-alertmanager"

For more information on COS URLs, see Browse dashboards.

Check connectivity

To check the Grafana agent to COS connectivity, try to access any of the COS URLs. For example, “prometheus”, from within the Grafana agent:

juju exec --unit grafana-agent-k8s/0 -m kf-controller:kubeflow 'curl -s <URL>'

If successful, you will get an OK response, similar to this one:

juju exec --unit grafana-agent-k8s/0 -m kf-controller:kubeflow 'curl -s http://10.64.140.43/cos-prometheus-0/api/v1/status/runtimeinfo'
{"status":"success","data":{"startTime":"2024-07-24T16:28:30.48462767Z","CWD":"/","reloadConfigSuccess":true,"lastConfigTime":"2024-07-24T16:28:30Z","corruptionCount":0,"goroutineCount":56,"GOMAXPROCS":16,"GOMEMLIMIT":9223372036854775807,"GOGC":"","GODEBUG":"","storageRetention":"15d or 819MiB204KiB819B"}}

Make offers from COS

You can make offers for Prometheus, Grafana and Loki from COS as follows:

juju offer -c cos-controller cos.prometheus:receive-remote-write prometheus-receive-remote-write
juju offer -c cos-controller cos.grafana:grafana-dashboard grafana-dashboards
juju offer -c cos-controller cos.loki:logging loki-logging

If you’ve deployed COS with offers overlay, making offers is not necessary, since they are already exist.

Consume Offers in Kubeflow

Within the kubeflow model, you can consume the COS offers for Prometheus, Grafana and Loki as follows:

juju consume -m kf-controller:kubeflow cos-controller:cos.prometheus-receive-remote-write
juju consume -m kf-controller:kubeflow cos-controller:cos.grafana-dashboards
juju consume -m kf-controller:kubeflow cos-controller:cos.loki-logging

Connect Grafana agent to endpoints

The Grafana agent can provide metrics, alerts, dashboards and logs to the COS via these three relation endpoints:

You can tell the Grafana agent to provide those by consuming those offers as follows:

juju integrate -m kf-controller:kubeflow grafana-agent-k8s:send-remote-write prometheus-receive-remote-write
juju integrate -m kf-controller:kubeflow grafana-agent-k8s:grafana-dashboards-provider grafana-dashboards
juju integrate -m kf-controller:kubeflow grafana-agent-k8s:logging-consumer loki-logging

Verify the relations for all offers are in place:

juju status -m cos-controller:cos grafana-agent-k8s --relations

You should see 1/1 in the Connected column under Offers.

Integrate with Prometheus

You can provide charms metrics to Prometheus in COS by linking the CKF charms to the metrics-endpoint as follows:

juju switch kf-controller:kubeflow
juju integrate argo-controller:metrics-endpoint grafana-agent-k8s:metrics-endpoint
juju integrate dex-auth:metrics-endpoint grafana-agent-k8s:metrics-endpoint
juju integrate envoy:metrics-endpoint grafana-agent-k8s:metrics-endpoint

Access monitoring resources

Using COS URLs, you can access Prometheus and Grafana to monitor resources, including metrics, alerts and dashboards from CKF charms.

Prometheus metrics

Navigate to the Prometheus URL (see Get COS URLs for more details).

To view the metrics for a specific charm, query {juju_application="<app-name>"}.

For example, you can check the argo-controller logs using this query:

argo_workflows_count{juju_model="kubeflow", juju_charm="argo-controller"}

It returns all the charm-related metrics:

To view all the metrics available from Prometheus, use the metrics explorer by clicking on the round icon next to Execute in that query form.

See Prometheus metrics for more details on available metrics.

Prometheus alerts

Navigate to the Prometheus URL and click on Alerting under the left-hand side navigation bar. This shows all available alerts.

Alerting-view

You can filter from Active, Pending and Firing alerts using the available checkboxes. To view alerts for a specific charm, type its name in the search bar on the top.

See Prometheus alerts for more details.

Grafana dashboards

Navigate to the Grafana dashboard URL (see Get COS URLs for more details). Get the admin password:

juju run -m cos-controller:cos grafana/leader get-admin-password

Using admin as the username, log in with the password returned. See the available dashboards by clicking on Dashboards in the sidebar menu:

See Grafana dashboards for more information.

Loki logs

Loki does not provide a UI. You can use the Grafana UI for checking Loki logs.

Navigate to the Grafana URL and click on Explore, where you can navigate through all collected logs by selecting Loki as source.

Loki-logs-explore

See Visualize log data for more details on navigating Grafana Loki. For more information on forwarded logs, see Loki logs.
