Kubernetes Controller Manager (deprecated) 🔗

Note

This monitor is deprecated in favor of the prometheus-exporter monitor. See Prometheus Exporter for more information.

The monitor queries path /metrics by default when no path is configured. It converts the Prometheus metric types to Splunk Observability Cloud metric types as described in the documentation for Prometheus Exporter All Prometheus labels are converted directly to Infrastructure Monitoring dimensions.

Configuration settings 🔗

The following table shows the configuration options for this monitor:

Option

Required

Type

Description

Basic Auth username to use on each request, if any.

password

no

Basic Auth password to use on each request, if any.

If true, the agent will connect to the server using HTTPS

instead of plain HTTP. (default: false)

httpHeaders

no

map of strings
A map of HTTP header names to values. Comma separated multiple

no

bool
If useHTTPS is true and this option is also true, the
