UAN NODE Exporter

The Prometheus UAN NODE Exporter service, service monitor and endpoints are deployed to scrape SMARTMON data by the cray-sysmgmt-health chart in the sysmgmt-health namespace as part of the Cray System Management (CSM) release.

Configuration

In order to provide data to the Grafana SMART dashboards, the UAN NODE Exporter must be configured with a list of UAN NMN IP Address to scrape metrics from.

Pre-install CSM

NOTE All variables used within this page depend on the /etc/environment setup done in Pre-installation.

  1. Obtain the list of site specific UAN NMN IP Address.

  2. (pit#) Update customizations.yaml with the list of UAN nodes IPs.

    yq write -s - -i ${PITDATA}/prep/site-init/customizations.yaml <<EOF
- command: update
  path: spec.kubernetes.services.cray-sysmgmt-health.uanNodeExporter
  value:
            enabled: true
            endpoints:
            - 10.252.1.18
            - 10.252.1.13
EOF

  3. (pit#) Review the UAN NODE Exporter configuration.

    yq r ${PITDATA}/prep/site-init/customizations.yaml spec.kubernetes.services.cray-sysmgmt-health.uanNodeExporter

    The expected output looks similar to:

    uanNodeExporter:
  enabled: true
  endpoints:
  - 10.252.1.18
  - 10.252.1.13

The most common configuration parameters are specified in the following table. They must be set in the customizations.yaml file under the spec.kubernetes.services.cray-sysmgmt-health.uanNodeExporter service definition.

Customization Default Description
enabled false Enables service for UAN NODE Exporter (default chart value is false)
endpoints 10.252.1.13 list of UAN NMN IP Address to monitor SMARTMON data

For a complete set of available parameters, consult the values.yaml file for the cray-sysmgmt-health chart.

Post-install CSM

This procedure is to configure the UAN NODE Exporter once the PIT node no longer exists by editing manifest and deploying cray-sysmgmt-health chart.

  1. (uan#) Obtain the list of UAN NMN IP Address. Login to UAN node (uan#)

    hostname -i

    Expected output looks similar to the following:

    ::1 127.0.0.1 10.252.1.13

  2. (ncn#) Get the current cached customizations.

    kubectl get secrets -n loftsman site-init -o jsonpath='{.data.customizations\.yaml}' | base64 -d > customizations.yaml

  3. (ncn#) Get the current cached platform manifest.

    kubectl get cm -n loftsman loftsman-platform -o jsonpath='{.data.manifest\.yaml}'  > platform.yaml

  4. (ncn#) Update customizations.yaml with the list of UAN nodes IPs.

    yq write -s - -i customizations.yaml <<EOF
- command: update
  path: spec.kubernetes.services.cray-sysmgmt-health.uanNodeExporter
  value:
            enabled: true
            endpoints:
            - 10.252.1.18
            - 10.252.1.13
EOF

  5. (ncn#) Review the UAN NODE Exporter configuration.

    yq r customizations.yaml spec.kubernetes.services.cray-sysmgmt-health.uanNodeExporter

    The expected output looks similar to:

      enabled: true
  endpoints:
  - 10.252.1.18
  - 10.252.1.13

  6. Edit the platform.yaml to only include the cray-sysmgmt-health chart and all its current data.

    The resources specified above will be updated in the next step. The version may differ, because this is an example.

    apiVersion: manifests/v1beta1
metadata:
  name: platform
spec:
  charts:
  - name: cray-sysmgmt-health
    namespace: sysmgmt-health
    values:
.
.
.
    version: 0.28.9

  7. (ncn#) Generate the manifest that will be used to redeploy the chart with the modified resources.

    manifestgen -c customizations.yaml -i platform.yaml -o manifest.yaml

  8. (ncn#) Check that the manifest file contains the desired resource settings.

    yq read manifest.yaml 'spec.charts.(name==cray-sysmgmt-health).values.uanNodeExporter'

    Example output:

       enabled: true
   endpoints:
   - 10.252.1.18
   - 10.252.1.13

  9. (ncn#) Redeploy the same chart version but with the desired UAN NODE Exporter configuration settings.

    loftsman ship --charts-path /etc/cray/upgrade/csm/csm-${CSM_RELEASE}/tarball/csm-${CSM_RELEASE}/helm/ --manifest-path manifest.yaml

    Here, /etc/cray/upgrade/csm/csm-${CSM_RELEASE}/tarball/csm-${CSM_RELEASE}/helm/ is the path of the cray-sysmgmt-health chart.

  10. (ncn#) This step is critical. Store the modified customizations.yaml file in the site-init repository in the customer-managed location.

    If this is not done, these changes will not persist in future installs or upgrades.

    kubectl delete secret -n loftsman site-init
kubectl create secret -n loftsman generic site-init --from-file=customizations.yaml

  11. (ncn#) Verify that the changes are in place.

    kubectl get endpoints cray-sysmgmt-health-uan-node-exporter -n sysmgmt-health -o json | jq -r '.subsets[0].addresses'

    Example output:

    [
  {
    "ip": "10.252.1.18"
  },
  {
    "ip": "10.252.1.13"
  }
]
