AWS Managed Prometheus¶

This guide walks you through integrating your AWS Managed Prometheus with Robusta.

You'll need to configure two integrations: one to send alerts to Robusta and another to let Robusta query metrics and create silences. This guide only covers the integration to query metrics.

Configure Metric Querying¶

Metrics querying lets Robusta pull metrics from AWS Managed Prometheus.

1. Create an AWS access key, See guide here.

2. In your cluster, create a secret with your access key and secret access key, named aws-secret-key.

3. Collect the URL for your AWS Managed Prometheus workspace.

4. Append the following to your generated_values.yaml file.

globalConfig:
...
  prometheus_url: AWS_PROMETHEUS_URL

  # Create silences when using Grafana alerts (optional)
  # grafana_api_key: <YOUR GRAFANA EDITOR API KEY> # (1)
  # alertmanager_flavor: grafana

runner:
  additional_env_vars:
  - name: PROMETHEUS_SSL_ENABLED
    value: "true"
  - name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY
    value: <ACCESS KEY HERE>
  - name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY
    valueFrom:
      secretKeyRef:
        name: aws-secret-key
        key: <NAME_OF_ACCESS_KEY_KEY>
  - name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    valueFrom:
      secretKeyRef:
        name: aws-secret-key
        key: <NAME_OF_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_KEY>
  - name: AWS_SERVICE_NAME
    value: "aps" # <SERVICE NAME HERE>, it is usually aps
  - name: AWS_REGION
    value: <REGION_OF_WORKSPACE_HERE>

Optional Settings¶

Prometheus flags checks

Robusta utilizes the flags API to retrieve data from Prometheus-style metric stores. However, some platforms like Google Managed Prometheus, Azure Managed Prometheus etc, do not implement the flags API.

You can disable the Prometheus flags API check by setting the following option to false.

globalConfig:
  check_prometheus_flags: true/false
