Monitoring Dispatch

Dispatch integrates with Prometheus for metrics. In the D2iQ Konvoy Kubernetes distribution, Dispatch metrics and logging are automatically integrated with the Konvoy monitoring stack:

• Metrics for Dispatch components, pipelines, and tasks, are stored in Prometheus and can be visualized using the Dispatch Grafana dashboards, which are packaged with the Dispatch installation.
• Component and task logs are forwarded to Elastic and can be explored using Kibana.

Set Up Monitoring for non-Konvoy clusters

Make sure that Dispatch is installed with with metrics support into a Kubernetes cluster:

dispatch init --set global.prometheus.enabled=true --set global.prometheus.release=prometheus-kubeaddons

NOTE: prometheus-kubeaddons is the default value for release label when creating a Konvoy cluster. In an installation where Prometheus is configured to match a different release label, Dispatch can be configured to be installed with the same custom label.
