serviceMonitor (service monitor objects) desactivation in VIP Authentication Hub

Products

• VIP Authentication Hub

Issue/Introduction

Running VIP Authentication Hub, would there be any impact by removing the servicemonitor objects:

  <release>-ssp-services-actuator-prometheus
  <release>-ssp-services-metrics

How to remove them?

These objects aren't needed as logs get injected with Elastic and Kibana already in the environment.

Prometheus is not used in the environment.

 

Cause

Having serviceMonitor objects in the deployment will consume no resources at all, when these objects are enabled.

In VIP Authentication Hub 3.4, an option will be added to the command line when installing or upgrading, when setting it to false, will avoid the deployment of the serviceMonitor objects:

  --set ssp.global.monitoring.prometheusOperator.serviceMonitor.enabled=false

 

Resolution

Upgrade VIP Authentication Hub to 3.4 when this one will be available, to benefit from the new command line option --set ssp.global.monitoring.prometheusOperator.serviceMonitor.enabled.
