Monitoring automation project for Prometheus and ecosystem (in-progress)

One of the main problem that we face with microservices deployment is how to configure monitoring.
With deployment being so dynamic its hard to make changes.

As you can see in the blog: @tomarv2/jenkins-shared-libraries-ab64f7acac68"">https://medium.com/@tomarv2/jenkins-shared-libraries-ab64f7acac68. I discussed how can
repos can be arranged and how monitoring jobs at scale can be configured. Most of the work of adding projects to monitoring and alerting was manual.

In this project we are trying to offload the management of monitoring and alerting. When a new project is added,
user adds/updates user_input.yaml and it will be picked up by CICD (in this case Jenkins).

#

Where will the monitoring be configured:

Prometheus
Blackbox
Elastalert
Pushgateway
Pagerduty
Email
Slack

Pre-reqs:

Running Elastalert
Running Alertmanager
Running Prometheus Monitoring
Running Pushgateway
Pagerduty account
Slack account
Kafka/Zookeper (when we wrote this project, we had a requirement to cleanup Kafka/Zookeeper)

Note:

Docker image should have ssh keys to connect to git.

How to begin:

To create dummy data for testing:

verify if static-files directory exists:

DIR_NAME=demo1
BASE_PATH='/Users/varun.tomar/Documents/personal_github'
mkdir -p $BASE_PATH/mauto/$DIR_NAME/demo-data/monitoring/static-files

verify if alertmanager config file exists:

mkdir -p $BASE_PATH/mauto/$DIR_NAME/demo-data/alertmanager
cp $BASE_PATH/mauto/data/demo-data/alertmanager/config.yaml $BASE_PATH/mauto/$DIR_NAME/demo-data/alertmanager/config.yaml

verify if prometheus config file exists:

mkdir -p $BASE_PATH/mauto/junk/demo-data/monitoring/
cp $BASE_PATH/mauto/data/demo-data/monitoring/config.yaml $BASE_PATH/mauto/junk/demo-data/monitoring/

verify .env file exists:

Copy the example.env and create a .env file

Update src/automation/config.yaml

How to use?

run pip install mauto
run muato for available options

Note:

Trying to make it modular or plug and play type so new components can be added easily.
I am using click to create python cli.
Python 3.6 and above is required
