Foglight for Container Management 6.1.0 - User Guide

Understanding Foglight for Container Management Using Foglight for Container Management Reference

Prerequisite

Each Kubernetes Agent monitors the assets inside the selected Kubernetes Service Providers. To enable the data collection, complete the following prerequisites before create agent.

The Kubernetes configuration file named KubeConfig is a standard configuration of Kubernetes and is required for Kubernetes agents to access the cluster. Foglight for Container Management verifies and supports the local Kubernetes and the following Cloud Kubernetes Service Providers. Based upon your environment, select either of approaches to get your KubeConfig file:

If you build a Kubernetes cluster locally, find this KubeConfig file under the /etc/kubernetes/admin.kubeconfig on your master node.

Before generating the Kubernetes credentials, record the following information:

Download the Azure Command Line Interface and install it in your local platform, and then follow steps below to generate your Kubernetes credential:

1
2
Run the command: az account set --subscription <azure subscription number>
3
Run the command: az aks get-credentials --resource-group <azure resource group name> --name <azure cluster name>
4
Find the Kubernetes configuration file under <USER_HOME>/.kube/config on your local platform.

Follow the Amazon EKS offical guide Getting Started with Amazon EKS. Follow the guide and complete Create a kubeconfig for Amazon EKS. in the end of the guide.

Download the Google Cloud Client tool and install it in your local platform, and then follow steps below to generate your Kubernetes credential.

1
Log in to your Kubernetes cluster, click Connect next to your cluster name.
3
Find the intermediate Kubernetes configuration file under <USER_HOME>/.kube/config on your local platform. The following is the example of this intermediate Kubernetes configuration file.
4
Open Google Cloud Client tool and run the following commands to create a Kubernetes service account that grants with the cluster-admin role and the access to your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster.
default” in the above command is the namespace name of this service account name. You can also change to other namespace names, as needed.
5
Open the intermediate Kubernetes configuration file under <USER_HOME>/.kube/config, and then add the user and change the token to the new one.

If you have created your cluster on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, get the access from the console as described on the cluster’s Access view. You will get a .pem file and a .yml file after you performing the steps.

By default IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service uses certificate authority file and token/refresh token. However, certificate authority data and service account token should be used in the Kubernetes Agent credential. After you successfully test your connection through “kubectl get nodes”, follow the steps below to generate the Kubernetes Agent credential.

1
Run the command kubectl config view -minify=true -flatten -o json. You will get an output similar as below, then record the <certificate authority data> for later use.
2
Run the command kubectl create serviceaccount <service account>.
3
Run the command kubectl describe serviceaccount <service account>. You will get a response similar as below, then record <service account secret> (in this sample, it is jane-sa-token-xkqrk) for later use.
4
Run the command kubectl describe secret <service account secret>. You will get a response similar as below, then record <service account token> for later use.
6
Change the certificate authority to the data <certificate authority data> of this authority and change the users section to use <service account token>. Save your changes, and then you will get a credential file like below. This file will be used as the Kubernetes Agent credential to connect to your IBM cloud Kubernetes service cluster.

If you could access the file /etc/origin/master/admin.kubeconfig on the master node, download it and use it as the Kubernetes Agent credential.

If you could not access the file /etc/origin/master/admin.kubeconfig on the master node, follow instructions below to generate a permanent credential file.

Before generating the permanent Kubernetes credentials, record the following information and ensure you have granted the privilege for accessing the cluster-wide resources:

Download the OpenShift Command Line Interface and install it in your local platform, and then follow steps below to generate your Kubernetes credential:

a
After logging in to OpenShift, click Command Line Tools on the upper right.
b
Click the button next to the Session token field, copy the command, and then paste it in your local Command Line Tool. Make sure to find the intermediate Kubernetes configuration file under <USER_HOME>/.kube/config on your local platform.
2
The token generated in step 1 will be expired after 4 hours, however Foglight for Container Management needs a permanent Kubernetes credential. So you need to create a service account with “cluster-admin” role, and then get the authorization code (not expired) of this service account to generate our permanent Kubernetes credential.
a
Run the command oc project <project-name>.
b
Run the command oc create serviceaccount <service-account-name>.
c
Run the command oc serviceaccounts get-token <service-account-name>. Then you will get a token <service-account-token> like below. Record this token for later use.
d
Run the following command to grant your service account with the “cluster-admin” privilege:
kubectl create clusterrolebinding <cluster-role-binding-name> --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:<service-account-name>.

There are various approaches to enable Heapster on your Kubernetes cluster. Visit Heapster official website to determine the approach that you are going to deploy your Heapster service, or you can follow instructions in https://github.com/foglight/container to deploy your service.

Some of the cloud platform Kubernetes service has enabled Heapster service for the cluster. If you have connected to the cluster, run the following command to check: kubectl cluster-info

There are various approaches to enable Prometheus on your Kubernetes cluster. Visit Prometheus Official Website to determine the approach that you are going to deploy your Prometheus service. Or you can refer to configuration management systems, such as helm (https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/prometheus) or ansible (https://github.com/cloudalchemy/ansible-prometheus) to simplify your installation process.

In the Foglight Container Administration dashboard, a simple template is provided for you to deploy Prometheus service onto your cluster. For more information, see the Deploy/Migrate section in Metrics Collector .

Docker Swarm Agent

Each Docker Swarm Agent monitors the assets in one docker host. Docker Remote API needs to be enabled for the Docker Swarm Agent collecting data from the docker host. If TLS is enabled to secure the Docker Remote API, credential for Docker Swarm Agent needs to be prepared. Complete the following prerequisites before create agent.

If TLS enabled to secure Docker Remote API, then complete the following guide to get the credentials for Docker Swarm Agent for the docker host. Otherwise, continue with Enabling Docker Remote API for monitored docker host

Refer to the official guide to generate the keys. Be aware that, during generating the keys, the Foglight Agent Manager host address should be in the allow access list.

Docker Swarm Agent needs following credentials, you can get them when you finish the official guide.

Change ExecStart in docker service startup script as below.

If TLS enabled, complete Preparing Docker Swarm Agent credentials first, then you will get the ca.pem, server-cert.pem and server-key.pem mentioned in the official guide.

Then restart docker service.

If TLS is enabled to secure Docker Remote API, go through this section to upload the credential for Docker Swarm Agent. Otherwise, skip this section.

When complete Preparing Docker Swarm Agent credentials , following credentials should be generated.

These are the credentials for Docker Swarm Agent, complete the following steps to upload the credentials.

On the Administration > Credentials > Manage Credentials dashboard, click Add, and then select Docker CA Public Key or Docker Client Public Key or Docker Client Private Key to upload related credentials. Take Docker CA Public Key as an example.

In the Add a New “Docker CA Public Key” Credential dialog box, specify the following values:

Credential Properties: Click Load from file to import Docker CA Public Key, and then click Next.
Resource Mapping: Click Add. In the New Resource Mapping Condition dialog box, choose Target Host Name or Target Host Address for the monitored docker host.
If choose Target Host Name, then enter the host name of the monitored docker host.
Click Add to finish editing New Resource Mapping Condition and back to Resource Mapping. And then click Finish.

The Docker CA Public Key has been uploaded and mapped to the docker host. To monitor this docker host, upload Docker Client Public Key and Docker Client Private Key by following the above steps.
