Hi Simon, as far as I know you won't even be able to deploy prometheus instances via the prometheus-operator in the openshift-monitoring namespace, as it's namespaced through an argument in its deployment config.
But if you have another grafana dashboard deployed you should be able to add the k8s-prometheus as a datasource. To get the credentials through commandline run this command: oc get secret grafana-datasources -n openshift-monitoring -o yaml | grep prometheus.yaml | cut -d':' -f2 | cut -d' ' -f2 | base64 -d Alexander On Fri, Jan 18, 2019 at 9:45 AM Simon Pasquier <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 17, 2019 at 6:27 PM Pavel Sapozhnikov > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hello folks > > > > We are using OpenShift 3.11 and monitoring that comes with that package. > Our application pods expose prometheus endpoints and we are looking to > dashboard our own metrics withing the Grafana that is in the monitoring > project. > > > > So far what we've been seeing is that there's no way to even create a > new Grafana dashboard and also I haven't been able to find any > documentation on how to do it.
