prometheus-federator

Prometheus Federator is an operator (powered by rancher/helm-project-operator and rancher/charts-build-scripts) that manages deploying one or more Project Monitoring Stacks composed of the following set of resources that are scoped to project namespaces:

A user can specify that they would like to deploy a Project Monitoring Stack by creating a ProjectHelmChart CR in a Project Registration Namespace (cattle-project-<id>) with spec.helmApiVersion: monitoring.cattle.io/v1alpha1, which will deploy the Project Monitoring Stack in a Project Release Namespace (cattle-project-<id>-monitoring).

Note: Since this Project Monitoring Stack deploys Prometheus Operator CRs, an existing Prometheus Operator instance must already be deployed in the cluster for Prometheus Federator to successfully be able to deploy Project Monitoring Stacks. It is recommended to use rancher-monitoring for this. For more information on how the chart works or advanced configurations, please read the README.md on the chart.

For more information on ProjectHelmCharts and how to configure the underlying operator, please read the README.md on the chart or check out the general docs on Helm Project Operators in rancher/helm-project-operator.

For more information on how to configure the underlying Project Monitoring Stack, please read the README.md of the underlying chart (rancher-project-monitoring).

Versioning and Releasing For Rancher

While this repository does maintain a standalone Helm repository for vanilla Helm users to consume directly, users of Rancher will see forked versions of these chart releases available on Rancher's Apps & Marketplace; the forked chart releases are maintained in the rancher/charts repository on being released from a dev-vX.X branch to a release-vX.X branch, where X.X corresponds to the Rancher ${Major}.${Minor} version that the users is using (i.e. Rancher 2.7).

The chart in rancher/charts is generally the version that is intended for use in production since that is the chart that will be tested by Rancher's QA team. Generally, these charts will match stable versions of charts available in this repository, so non-Rancher users should be able to safely use those versions in this repository for production use cases (at their own risk).

For more information on the process maintainers of this repository use to mirror these charts over to rancher/charts, see the Rancher release guide.
