Hi folks! Does anyone have useful information about how to Monitor the GKE cluster with Managed Prometheus? I would like to create useful dashboards like in Grafana for GCP…
Or maybe another way to have a centralised Grafana for multiple GKE clusters, the main idea is to use Managed Prometheus for all our clusters to scrape metrics. Thanks in advance
Are your GKE clusters in same project or spread across multiple GCP projects?
The first approach should be only in the same project at least
Right now, I’m confused after reading all the GCP Documentation. It looks complex.
This is the closest link i found which is a mix of managed and self hosted prometheus you need to install exporters https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/docs/managed-prometheus/best-practices/ingest-and-query
With managed prometheus i am not sure if each of the clusters would get its own datastore / Monarch
From the above link If you use only managed or self-deployed collection, then the diagram is still applicable; just ignore the collection style you aren't using:
Not to give negative feedback but I have never been a fan of managed offerings with GCP be it Managed Istio aka Anthos Service Mesh (ASM) or Managed Prometheus I prefer the OSS versions 
I agree with you. I did a POC using OSS Prometheus Operator
But now I’m trying to build the same with Managed Prometheus to compare with the previous implementation
Because there are pros and cons always…
Yes it is a vendor lock-in also
Yeah, but we don’t have a big team with expert skills about that so we may use the magic of GPC whenever we can…
I found right here an interesting doc
I’m looking for something like that
Isn’t is as simple as pointing all the prometheus proxy services (from different GKE clusters) to the same Grafana endpoint / centralized Grafana?
I’m going to play a little bit 
Good luck and let me know
Thank you so much. I will share everything once I finish
