Set up Network Observability for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) - Azure managed Prometheus and Grafana

  • आलेख

AKS Network Observability is used to collect the network traffic data of your AKS cluster. Network Observability enables a centralized platform for monitoring application and network health. Prometheus collects AKS Network Observability metrics, and Grafana visualizes them. Both Cilium and non-Cilium data plane are supported. In this article, learn how to enable the Network Observability add-on and use Azure managed Prometheus and Grafana to visualize the scraped metrics.

For more information about AKS Network Observability, see What is Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Network Observability?.

Prerequisites

  • Minimum version of Azure CLI required for the steps in this article is 2.44.0. Run az --version to find the version. If you need to install or upgrade, see Install Azure CLI.

Create cluster

Note

For Kubernetes version >= 1.29, Network Observability is included in clusters with Azure Managed Prometheus. Metric scraping is defined via the AMA metrics profile.

For lower Kubernetes versions, extra steps are required to enable Network Observability.

Create a resource group

A resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed. Create a resource group with az group create command. The following example creates a resource group named myResourceGroup in the eastus location:

az group create \
    --name myResourceGroup \
    --location eastus

Create AKS cluster

Create an AKS cluster with az aks create. The following examples each create an AKS cluster named myAKSCluster in the myResourceGroup resource group.

Example 1: Non-Cilium

Use az aks create in the following example to create a non-Cilium AKS cluster.

az aks create \
    --name myAKSCluster \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
    --location eastus \
    --generate-ssh-keys \
    --network-plugin azure \
    --network-plugin-mode overlay \
    --pod-cidr 192.168.0.0/16 \
    --kubernetes-version 1.29

Example 2: Cilium

Use az aks create in the following example to create a Cilium AKS cluster.

az aks create \
    --name myAKSCluster \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
    --generate-ssh-keys \
    --location eastus \
    --max-pods 250 \
    --network-plugin azure \
    --network-plugin-mode overlay \
    --network-dataplane cilium \
    --node-count 2 \
    --pod-cidr 192.168.0.0/16

Azure managed Prometheus and Grafana

Use the following example to install and enable Prometheus and Grafana for your AKS cluster.

Create Azure Monitor resource

az resource create \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
    --namespace microsoft.monitor \
    --resource-type accounts \
    --name myAzureMonitor \
    --location eastus \
    --properties '{}'

Create Grafana instance

Use az grafana create to create a Grafana instance. The name of the Grafana instance must be unique. Replace myGrafana with a unique name for your Grafana instance.

az grafana create \
    --name myGrafana \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup

Place the Grafana and Azure Monitor resource IDs in variables

Use az grafana show to place the Grafana resource ID in a variable. Use az resource show to place the Azure Monitor resource ID in a variable. Replace myGrafana with the name of your Grafana instance.

grafanaId=$(az grafana show \
                --name myGrafana \
                --resource-group myResourceGroup \
                --query id \
                --output tsv)

azuremonitorId=$(az resource show \
                    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
                    --name myAzureMonitor \
                    --resource-type "Microsoft.Monitor/accounts" \
                    --query id \
                    --output tsv)

Use az aks update to link the Azure Monitor and Grafana resources to your AKS cluster.

az aks update \
    --name myAKSCluster \
    --resource-group myResourceGroup \
    --enable-azure-monitor-metrics \
    --azure-monitor-workspace-resource-id $azuremonitorId \
    --grafana-resource-id $grafanaId

Get cluster credentials

az aks get-credentials --name myAKSCluster --resource-group myResourceGroup

Visualize using Grafana

Note

The following section requires deployments of Azure managed Prometheus and Grafana.

  1. Use the following example to verify the Azure Monitor pods are running.

    kubectl get po -owide -n kube-system | grep ama-

    ama-metrics-5bc6c6d948-zkgc9          2/2     Running   0 (21h ago)   26h
ama-metrics-ksm-556d86b5dc-2ndkv      1/1     Running   0 (26h ago)   26h
ama-metrics-node-lbwcj                2/2     Running   0 (21h ago)   26h
ama-metrics-node-rzkzn                2/2     Running   0 (21h ago)   26h
ama-metrics-win-node-gqnkw            2/2     Running   0 (26h ago)   26h
ama-metrics-win-node-tkrm8            2/2     Running   0 (26h ago)   26h

  2. Navigate to your Grafana instance in a web browser.

  3. We have created a sample dashboard. It can be found under Dashboards > Azure Managed Prometheus > Kubernetes / Networking / Clusters.

  4. Check if the metrics in the Kubernetes / Networking / Clusters Grafana dashboard are visible. If metrics aren't shown, change time range to last 15 minutes in top right dropdown box.

Clean up resources

If you're not going to continue to use this application, delete the AKS cluster and the other resources created in this article with the following example:

  az group delete \
    --name myResourceGroup
