Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:Monitor Tencent Cloud resources with Managed Service for Prometheus

Build the exporter image

Clone the repository and build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/tencentyun/tencentcloud-exporter.git
make build

Configure the exporter

Create a configuration file (for example, qcloud.yaml) that specifies your Tencent Cloud credentials and the services to monitor.

The following example exports all CVM metrics for every instance in the ap-nanjing region:

credential:
  access_key: "access_key"    # The SecretId of TencentCloud API
  secret_key: "secret_key"    # The SecretKey of TencentCloud API
  region: "ap-nanjing"        # The region where the instances reside

rate_limit: 15  # The maximum number of API calls that CM can make per second to pull data. Example: 20. For more information, see https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/248/31014

products:
  - namespace: QCE/CVM  # CVM metrics. See https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/248/6843
    all_metrics: true    # Export all supported metrics
    all_instances: true  # Export metrics from every instance in the specified region
    extra_labels: [InstanceId, InstanceName]
    # Optional filters - uncomment and edit as needed:
    # only_include_metrics: []
    # only_include_instances: [ins-xxxxxxxx]
    # statistics_types: [last]
    # period_seconds: 60
    # metric_name_type: 2

For the full list of configuration options, see the tencentcloud-exporter README.

Create a Deployment

Package the exporter and its configuration file into a Docker image, then push the image to a container registry such as DockerHub or Container Registry.

Deploy the exporter to your ACK cluster:

1. Log on to the ACK console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.

2. On the Clusters page, find your cluster and click Applications in the Actions column.

3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Workloads > Deployments.

4. On the Deployments page, click Create from YAML.

5. On the Create page, enter the following YAML in the Template code editor and click Create:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  generation: 5
  labels:
    app: qcloud-exporter-demo
  name: qcloud-exporter-demo
  namespace: default

Create a Service

Expose the exporter so that Prometheus can scrape it:

1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network > Services.

2. On the Services page, click Create Resources in YAML.

3. On the Create page, enter the following YAML in the Template code editor and click Create:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    app: qcloud-exporter-demo
  name: qcloud-exporter-demo-svc
  namespace: default
spec:
  ports:
    - name: qcloud-exporter-metrics
      port: 9123
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 9123
  selector:
    app: qcloud-exporter-demo
