Metrics Provider

Metrics Provider transmits metrics of Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster objects to monitoring systems and auto scaling systems. You can also transmit metrics the other way round: for example, cluster objects can receive metrics from Yandex Monitoring.

The provider converts a request to get external metrics from a Kubernetes cluster object to the format required by Yandex Monitoring and also performs the reverse conversion: from Yandex Monitoring to a cluster object.

1. Create a service account with the monitoring.viewer role.
2. Create a service account key and save it to your local machine:

   yc iam key create \
      --service-account-id <service account ID> \
      --folder-id <folder ID> \
      --cloud-id <cloud ID> \
      --description metrics-provider  \
      --format json \
      -o key.json
   

3. Fill out the form:
   • Namespace: Select a namespace or create a new one.
   • Application name: Enter a name for the application.
   • Folder ID: Specify the ID of the folder where Metrics Provider will run.
   • Time window: Specify the time window for which metrics will be collected (in DdHhMmSs format, e.g., 5d10h30m20s).
   • Service account private key: Copy the contents of the key.json file to this field.
4. Click Install.
5. Wait for the application to change its status to Deployed.

For more information about installing and running Metrics Provider, see our documentation.
