How to enable monitoring (COS)

Prerequisites

First, switch to the COS K8s environment and offer COS interfaces to be cross-model integrated with the Charmed PostgreSQL VM model.

To switch to the Kubernetes controller for the COS model, run

juju switch <k8s_controller>:<cos_model_name>

To offer the COS interfaces, run

juju offer grafana:grafana-dashboard grafana
juju offer loki:logging loki
juju offer prometheus:receive-remote-write prometheus

Consume offers via the PostgreSQL model

Next, we will switch to the Charmed PostgreSQL VM model, find offers, and consume them.

We are currently on the Kubernetes controller for the COS model. To switch to the PostgreSQL model, run

juju switch <machine_controller_name>:<postgresql_model_name>

To find offers, run

juju find-offers <k8s_controller>:admin/<cos_model_name>

The output should be similar to the sample below, where k8s is the k8s controller name and cos is the model where cos-lite has been deployed:

Store  URL                   Access Interfaces
k8s    admin/cos.grafana     admin  grafana_dashboard:grafana-dashboard
k8s    admin/cos.loki        admin  loki_push_api:logging
k8s    admin/cos.prometheus  admin  prometheus-receive-remote-write:receive-remote-write
...

To consume offers to be reachable in the current model, run

juju consume <k8s_controller>:admin/cos.prometheus
juju consume <k8s_controller>:admin/cos.loki
juju consume <k8s_controller>:admin/cos.grafana

Deploy and integrate Grafana

First, deploy the grafana-agent subordinate charm.

juju deploy grafana-agent

Then, integrate (previously known as “relate”) it with PostgreSQL

juju integrate postgresql:cos-agent grafana-agent

Finally, integrate grafana-agent with consumed COS offers:

juju integrate grafana-agent grafana
juju integrate grafana-agent loki
juju integrate grafana-agent prometheus

After this is complete, Grafana will show the new dashboard PostgreSQL Exporter and will allow access to Charmed PostgreSQL logs on Loki.

Sample outputs

Below is a sample output of juju status on the Charmed PostgreSQL VM model:
