Monitor Portworx with Sysdig

Sysdig is a monitoring platform that allows you to monitor your Portworx cluster by running Sysdig agents on each node of your cluster.

In order to use Sysdig with Portworx, you must deploy both products onto your Kubernetes node.

Prerequisites

• You must have a Kubernetes cluster with Portworx installed on it

Deploy Sysdig on Kubernetes with Portworx

1. Follow the Kubernetes Agent Installation Steps in the Sysdig documentation to deploy the following YAML files:

   • sysdig-agent-clusterrole.yaml
   • sysdig-agent-configmap.yaml
   • sysdig-agent-daemonset-v2.yaml

2. Once you've deployed Sysdig, you must edit the Sysdig-agent-configmap.yaml file to enable Prometheus and configure the px processes to expose the metrics. Add the following fields to the Sysdig-agent-configmap.yaml file:

   ...
   prometheus:
     enabled: true
     interval: 10
     process_filter:
       - include:
           process.cmdline: "px"
           conf:
             port: 9001
             path: "/metrics"
   ...
