Operator for Storage Monitoring Mixins

Monstorak operator takes care of deployment of monitoring mixins for storage systems in Openshift.

Monitoring mixin is an abstraction framework that makes it easier for developers to collaborate on common set of features like prometheus rules and grafana dashboards. It brings modularity and increases re-usability of code.

Deploying Monitoring Mixins with Operator

1. Deploy Operator

• Create a Namespace where the operator would be deployed,

  oc create namespace storage-monitoring

• Create CRDs

  oc create -f deploy/crds/alerts_v1alpha1_storagealert_crd.yaml

• Create a Service Account

  oc create -f deploy/serviceaccount.yaml

• Create Role and Cluster Role

  oc create -f deploy/role.yaml

• Create Role Binding and Cluster Role Binding

  oc create -f deploy/role_binding.yaml

• Create a Deployment of Operator

  oc create -f deploy/operator.yaml

2. Deploy Monitoring Mixins

• Create a CR of type StorageAlert

  • For Ceph storage alerts,

    oc create -f deploy/example/ceph-storagealert.yaml

  • For Noobaa storage alerts,

    oc create -f deploy/example/noobaa-storagealert.yaml

    OR,

  • For both,

    oc create -f deploy/example/monstorak-storagealert.yaml
