Monitoring Kubernetes Architecture

To monitor a Kubernetes architecture, it's essential to consider both the underlying resources and the services, ingress, and pods deployed. A dedicated namespace for monitoring should be created, and InfluxDB and Chronograf should be deployed on this namespace. Persistent volumes must be managed carefully to ensure data persistence. Telegraf can be used as a daemonset to collect metrics from hosts and services, using a sidecar approach with etcd to expose Prometheus-like metrics. This setup allows for easy deployment and sharing of monitoring configuration, and provides benefits such as optimized network traffic and load on InfluxDB. By using this architecture, Telegraf will follow the application forever, making it easier to manage and maintain monitoring configurations.
