Introduction

The Turing UI exposes alerting configurations for various Prometheus metrics, derived from the Kube state metrics as well as the Knative default metrics. When an alert is configured by the user, the API publishes the Prometheus alerting rules using GitOps as an inventory for alerts. Appropriate CI/CD jobs may be configured on the git repo to apply the changes as desired (eg: publishing alerts to a Slack channel).

GitOps Configuration

Currently, only Gitlab repositories may be configured for publishing alerts. The required client configurations (such as the Gitlab token) may be set at deploy time, under AlertConfig.GitLab (please refer to the sample Helm values file for an example).

Available Metrics

Name Prometheus Metric Source
throughput revision_request_count Knative
latency95p revision_request_latencies_bucket Knative
error_rate revision_request_count Knative
cpu_util container_cpu_usage_seconds_total, kube_pod_container_resource_requests{resource="cpu"} Kube state
memory_util container_memory_usage_bytes, kube_pod_container_resource_requests{resource="memory"} Kube state

Sample Alert Configuration

      rules:
        - alert: turing-hello-turing-router_cpu_util_violation_development

            sum by(cluster) (rate(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total{environment="staging",pod=~"turing-hello-turing-router-[0-9]*.*"}[1m])) / sum by(cluster) (kube_pod_container_resource_requests{resource="cpu",environment="staging",pod=~"turing-hello-turing-router-[0-9]*.*"}) * 100 > 90
          for: 5m
          labels:
            owner: foo
