Configuring datasources

Deploying the Kubernetes agent

To complete the onboarding you should go to the 🧩Datasources page.

connect vaticy

Here you can see an helm command which can execute on your Kubernetes cluster to deploy the Vaticy agent, just copy it into your terminal and press Enter!

When the Vaticy platform celebrates, it means the new agent is connected:

Connecting the agent to Prometheus

Inside the agent, click on the Prometheus logo to open a configuration pop-up.

Please input the following:

In-cluster Prometheus url - Provide a full Kubernetes Service name like: http://prometheus-server.monitoring.svc.cluster.local:80
Username - If needed for authentication
Password - If needed for authentication

Press the Save button and close the pop-up.

This will allow the Vaticy Agent to fetch specific needed metrics while its investigating the cluster for clues.

config prometheus

Investigations page

In the investigation page you will be able to see each firing alert (currently only from Prometheus) on the top right of the page.

Clicking on a specific alert will initiate an investigation:

Chat

The chat on the right side is used Vaticy to communicate details about the investigation. It is possible to ask questions and details about the investigation.

Note: The chat works only when there is an on-going investigation session!
