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
`httpTimeout`	no	`int64`	HTTP timeout duration for both read and writes. This should be a duration string that is accepted by https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration (default: `10s`)
`username`	no	`string`	Basic Auth username to use on each request, if any.
`password`	no	`string`	Basic Auth password to use on each request, if any.
`useHTTPS`	no	`bool`	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 values for the same message-header is supported.
`skipVerify`	no	`bool`	If useHTTPS is `true` and this option is also `true`, the exporter’s TLS cert will not be verified. (default: `false`)
`caCertPath`	no	`string`	Path to the CA cert that has signed the TLS cert, unnecessary if `skipVerify` is set to `false`.
`clientCertPath`	no	`string`	Path to the client TLS cert to use for TLS required connections
`clientKeyPath`	no	`string`	Path to the client TLS key to use for TLS required connections
`host`	yes	`string`	Host of the exporter
`port`	yes	`integer`	Port of the exporter
`useServiceAccount`	no	`bool`	Use pod service account to authenticate. (default: `false`)
`metricPath`	no	`string`	Path to the metrics endpoint on the exporter server, usually `/metrics` (the default). (default: `/metrics`)
`sendAllMetrics`	no	`bool`	Send all the metrics that come out of the Prometheus exporter without any filtering. This option has no effect when using the Prometheus exporter monitor directly since there is no built-in filtering, only when embedding it in other monitors. (default: `false`)

Metrics 🔗

These are the metrics available for this integration. All metrics are custom and are only emitted if specified explicitly.

Notes 🔗

Learn more about the available metric types in Observability Cloud.
Default metrics are those metrics included in host-based subscriptions in Observability Cloud, such as host, container, or bundled metrics. Custom metrics are not provided by default and might be subject to charges. See more about metric categories.
To add additional metrics, see how to configure extraMetrics using the Collector.
