Description / Overview

Kubernetes - Nginx Ingress via Prometheus Metrics

If you are using Nginx Ingress (which you should be) and Prometheus (which you also should be) this dashboard is what you wish you had years ago.

This was created after much frustration from lack-of-visibility with the currently available open source dashboards. It's loosely based on a number of other dashboards including the official Grafana Dashboards for Nginx Ingress. This dashboard largely replaces the need for any/all other ingress dashboard. This is a ~20th generation dashboard at this time, having been iterated and iterated upon with every usage of it.

Highlights:

• This dashboard is an beautiful visual heartbeat of your system.
• Top middle center is a green-backed "Percentage Success" which changes color as the reliability decreases.
• The top row instantly gives you overall and "now" (last 2 min) insights into your traffic usage
• The next row gives you some insights of the traffic and status codes
• You then have some beautiful latency percentiles and averages and heatmap
• And finally connection counts (note: connection counts are not tallied per-ingress, only per-controller).
• Similar to the official Dashboards, the graphs show the Config Reloads
• Click on the various status codes to hide all other status codes and get an insight into the one status code you wish to view the graph on.
• Hover over graphs on the top-left HTTP Requests / Ingress graph to find out which ingresses have which traffic loads.
• Change the variables such as namespace, or ingress above to dive into your various services and get more direct insight on only those service(s).
• Is more future-friendly than the official Dashboard by supporting the new multi-namespace feature Nginx Ingress by allowing you to choose the namespace of the ingress, not of the controller.
