Central OpenShift monitoring at VSHN
These pages describe how we do Central Monitoring at VSHN. It contains VSHN specific information, applicable to technical VSHNeers.
Overview
Our central monitoring solution is backed by Mimir, which runs on APPUiO Cloud. Individual clusters ship selected metrics into the central Mimir timeseries database, where they can be queried through Grafana.
Each product should create their own organization in Mimir to store metrics they want to use for their dashboards.
| Please update the list below if you create an organization for your product. |

APPUiO Managed Red Hat OpenShift uses the
appuio-managed-openshift-metricsorganization in Mimir to store cluster monitoring metrics.
The configuration as to which metrics are shipped, and whether they should be pre-aggregated, should be managed in the global Commodore defaults in the product’s distribution or other appropriate top-level class.
In general, we should be conservative with the amount of timeseries shipped to Mimir. Timeseries should be shipped on an as-needed basis, and should be pre-aggregated to the extent feasible.
