Thanos (Multi Cluster Prometheus) Tutorial: Global View - Long Term Storage - Kubernetes

Hi Anton Putra. Thx for thiw video very usefull. If I decide to use the opensfhit cluster prometheus native thanos query as datasource for an external grafana which is in a nerwork outside the openshift one, do I have first to open the flow?

Thank you for your videos very insightful ,
I have a question, I have multiple clusters each cluster has a prometheus deployed to it and I have a monitoring cluster that has a centralized thanos, the prometheuses are in agent mode with enabled remote write, do I need to deploy a receiver for each prometheus ?, using thanos helm chart and for prometheus kube-prometheus-stack,
and if so do each receiver need a qeurier or I can connect all of them to the same querier, each one is gonna save to a different bucket does the same needs to happen for the store gateway ?, and if you have any suggestions helping me architect this setup.
Thank you again

Thanks for this video and sharing your knowledge, I just have a question about it, you mentioned that remote write is your favorite solution and I really like how this is working but I was investigating about remote write and the documentation says that is recommend only in cases of pushing metrics is the only solution. What do you think about it? I don't see any problem using remote write but maybe I'm ignoring something here (I'm newbie in this)

we need a setup between two eks cluster metrics with prometheus thanos ha and stored in s3.... we are awaiting for this log from 4 months

Hi , I am not able to find the video for thanos setup in eks

Hi, when are you planning to make a video about thanos and prometheus in agent mod please? Thank you very much for your answer. The current video was great, I would also like to see more about prometheus agent mod and Thanos.

Which app u using to edite

Thanks for your tutorial. I would like to know in real production scenario, are there any ways to expose minIO securely without port forwarding?

Hi Anton, got a question, How is thanos querier connected to prometheus sidecar. What values is to be passed in querier.stores list ?

Hey Anton,

Followed your video and implemented the thanos write method, all the pods are running without error, but I am still not able to see any metrics in thanos querier :( Can you point me what I could be missing here ?

Thanks anton for all efforts,
But we guys still waiting for remote Prometheus setup/cluster setup monitored through Grfana via Thanos.

It would be great help
Again thanks 🎉❤

Question : Do we have any Helm charts or Operator for the Receiver Stack Installation or CRD's is the only way for now ?
I checked the Official Bitnami Chart which supports the sidecar approach but nothing on the Receiver

Any ideas ?

great tutorial, thanks!

we'll use an S3 bucket to store prometheus magics.

:)

Hi Anton, thank you for the informative and educational content! I look forward to your next video about preparing a Production ready Thanos setup using Amazon EKS Cluster remote write endpoint and deploying stateless Prometheus in Agent mode and moving local alerts to a Centralized Thanos.

i think grafana mimir better than thanos at scale and easy to scaleout

Looking forward to the followup video for production endpoints! Is that hard to setup?

Hi Anton. Thanks a million times for the awesome series. I have a question.
Let's destroy the minio and set the "tsdb.retention" value like "180day" in the receivers. Is this bad practice? I don't want to use any object storage(S3, Minio etc.).
I am asking this question for the Remote Write approach.

Hello Anton Good Video , a query when are you planning to release Thanos Production Setup ?

super informative and useful tutorial, I can't wait for the production setup!

Hi Anton, thank you for sharing your videos. It has been incredibly helpful and expanded my knowledge.

I followed your tutorial and successfully deployed Thanos with remote write Prometheus. Everything appears to be functioning correctly, except that I am unable to view any targets in the Thanos UI. Could you suggest a reason for this issue?

btw, I used helm charts instead of manifests, which are much easier

Furthermore, I have another question regarding best practices for the Alert Manager. Should I transfer all alerts to the ruler or should I deploy the Alert Manager with each Prometheus instance?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Thanks!

Well done !!!
Thank you for your job !

great tutorial as always. when is the production setup coming pls?

Hi, thank you for the video, very clear as always, cannot wait to see the next video for Thanos in production, I hope soon.
Are you gonna use the prometheus agent in the next video?

Hi Anton, Could you please do a video on how to use Prometheus in agent mode and forward metrics to Thanos Receive with scaling on both Agent and Receive side?

Do you think their is an interest to use thanos when implemented managed Prometheus ?

Thanks Anton, will you be doing a video on a HA Thanos Receive setup? I can get it working with a single Receive pod but when I setup multiple I start getting internal server errors etc

Thanks for the tutorial Anton! When the next video will be released?

you are genius

Spasibo Anton! I was googling how to secure remote write on Thanos Remote Write/Prometheus Agent and you just released this video 3 days ago.

Make videos on Cortex

Hey Anton, I'm really curious to know this, during your videos you usually organizing files with numbers in front of them, the question might be stupid, but I'll ask, do you use this only for the tutorials, or do you have a reason behind this, and follow this in your production coffee as well?

awesome video

As usual another great tutorial!
N.B. I hope you will present a video about VictoriaMetrics) VM more productive and has great architecture

Producing these had to take quite some time ... thanks for doing them, learning a ton from these prometheus videos you recently posted 10/10

You got us used to doing everything in terraform was you tired😂 it’s a joke thanks for the sharing

Hi Anton, great topic. Thank you so much!!!

I can see on the cover #1, have you planned any further tutorial on that topic?
Do we have any chance for a Federated Prometheus arch tutorial?

Thanks Anton! Helpful as always!

Hi Anton,
why don't you use helm to install prometheus?

Hi sir can you make a database benchmarking (mongo db vs mysql vs postgresql)
