In order to access Kubernetes dashboard and Grafana UI from the computer, you must first install the Kubernetes client, then perform the following steps to install Prometheus and Grafana.

  1. Open a bash terminal and change directory to the deploy/kube/init folder.

    Note: The directory will be under cwp/deploy/kube/init or cwpall 3/deploy/kube/init.

  2. Type ./install-prometheus.

    Result: The script installs Prometheus and Grafana, and sets up port forwarding from localhost:8000 to the Prometheus-Grafana service.

  3. Open a browser and type http://localhost:8080.

    Result: The Prometheus and Grafana log in screen appears.

  4. Specify the username admin with the password prom-operator.
  5. Set up access to Kubernetes Dashboard and Grafana UI on a client computer.
    1. Open a bash terminal and change to the init folder.
    2. Type ./start-proxy.

      Result: The script starts the kubectl proxy and port forwarding to Grafana.

    3. Follow the prompts from the script for further instructions on accessing the Kubernetes Dashboard and Grafana UI.
    4. To stop access to Kubernetes Dashboard and Grafana UI on a client computer, type ./stop-proxy

      Result: The kubectl proxy and port forwarding to Grafana stops.
