Quay Enterprise exports a Prometheus-compatible endpoint on each instance to allow for easy monitoring and alerting.
The Prometheus-compatible endpoint on the Quay Enterprise instance can be found at port 9092
. Simply add -p 9092:9092
to the docker run
command (or expose the port via the Pod
configuration in Kubernetes).
Prometheus needs a way to access all Quay Enterprise instances running in a cluster. In the typical setup, this is done by listing all the Quay Enterprise instances in a single named DNS entry, which is then given to Prometheus.
A simple Kubernetes service can be configured to provide the DNS entry for Prometheus. Details on running Prometheus under Kubernetes can be found at Prometheus and Kubernetes and Monitoring Kubernetes with Prometheus.
SkyDNS is a simple solution for managing this DNS record when not using Kubernetes. SkyDNS can run atop an etcd cluster. Entries for each Quay Enterprise instance in the cluster can be added and removed in the etcd store. SkyDNS will regularly read them from there and update the list of Quay instances in the DNS record accordingly.
