prometheusOperator: true add, then delete scrape config continously

[pasztorl]

I've added prometheusOperator: true to a tenant config then i just see this in the logs:

I0716 15:03:49.705015       1 prometheus.go:178] Deleting MinIO tenant Prometheus scrape config
I0716 15:03:52.595321       1 prometheus.go:120] Adding MinIO tenant Prometheus scrape config

I0716 15:04:04.771914       1 prometheus.go:178] Deleting MinIO tenant Prometheus scrape config

How can I debug the problem?

@pasztorl could you please add your prometheus configuration yaml and crd. Thanks.

Hi,

I set two things related to this:

Operator chart:

operator:
  env:
    - name: PROMETHEUS_NAMESPACE
      value: "monitoring"
    - name: PROMETHEUS_NAME
      value: "prometheus-prometheus"

The operator can find prometheus, because when it was not set properly I got different error messages.

On tenant:

spec:
  prometheusOperator: true

Prometheus installed with kube-prometheus-stack chart.

Now I do a retry, now I got this message from the operator:

E0722 17:17:24.054527 1 main-controller.go:749] error syncing 'devel/minio': prometheus-prometheus-scrape-confg is alreay set as additional scrape config in prometheus

Which is true, because I use additional scrape config so the prometheus-prometheus-scrape-confg secret exists in the monitoring ns.

My scape config looks like this:

- job_name: node-exporter-jump
  static_configs:
  - targets:
    - jump1.int.hu1.example.com:9100

[cesnietor]

could you please check if the secret is being created? minio-prom-additional-scrape-config can you also check if the contents of it are the same as your scrape config?

[pasztorl]

I've deleted my own scrape config secret then I restarted the minio operator.
Interesting, that I got the same error message while the secret not created by the minio operator.
How the operator checks that is scrape config exists?

I've not found minio-prom-additional-scrape-config secret on any ns.

[cesnietor]

please share your full tenant yaml as well as your operator .

[cesnietor]

also please share the full operator logs after restart

[pasztorl]

I've attached the tenant and the operator deployment
operator-deployment.txt
tenant.txt

[pasztorl]

I've set the prometheusOperator: false. Restarted the operator, then after the restart I switched back to true. Here is the log.

you need to remove the prometheus-prometheus-scrape-confg from the prometheus AdditionalScrapeConfigs field. we error out when something other than minio-prom-additional-scrape-config is set.

[pasztorl]

Actually I using this AdditionalScrapeConfigs to monitor nodes that have node-exporter but not a node within the k8s cluster, so this is why I need the AdditionalScrapeConfigs.
Maybe I can use the "Scrape Config" crd, also what do you think, minio operatod should use also the Scrape Config crd, not the secret?
So the prometheus deployment is not dedicated to minio, I would like to use the cluster-wide deployment for it if possible.

[cesnietor]

Right now it can only point to one secret, and minio needs that one I mentioned to work. and the key also has to be the same. To fix your case, rename your secret with your custom config to the one I mentioned. MinIO operator will be happy seeing that the name is the one it looks for and it will append the minio scrape config it needs.
Let me know if that works.

Hi @pasztorl,

I am using ScrapeConfig CR to add scrape config.

Starting with prometheus-operator v0.65.x, one can use the ScrapeConfig CRD to scrape targets external to the Kubernetes cluster or create scrape configurations that are not possible with the higher level ServiceMonitor/Probe/PodMonitor resources. (source: https://prometheus-operator.dev/docs/developer/scrapeconfig/)

I think creating ScrapeConfig CR is a better and neater way to add scrape config, instead of using MinIO operator to modify Prometheus CR, which could be managed by Helm/Terraform.

Here is my ScrapeConfig CR:

apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: ScrapeConfig
metadata:
  name: minio-scrapeconfig
  namespace: minio
  labels:
    release: kube-prometheus-stack
spec:
  jobName: my-test-job
  authorization:
    credentials:
      # the secret that stores the bearerToken got from `mc admin prometheus generate ALIAS`
      name: minio-scrapeconfig-secret
      key: bearerToken
    type: Bearer
  metricsPath: /minio/v2/metrics/cluster
  scheme: HTTPS
  tlsConfig:
    ca:
      secret:
        name: my-minio-tls
        key: public.crt
  staticConfigs:
    - targets:
        - minio.minio.svc.cluster.local:443
