Kuma Metrics grafana – LeaftixBlogTech

To visualize traffic metrics dashboards we can use grafana to visualize:

-- Installing metrics
kumactl install metrics | kubectl apply -f -

Once we have installed the required dependencies, we can now go ahead and enable metrics on our Mesh object by executing:

echo "apiVersion: kuma.io/v1alpha1
kind: Mesh
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  mtls:
    enabledBackend: ca-1
    backends:
    - name: ca-1
      type: builtin
  metrics:
    enabledBackend: prometheus-1
    backends:
    - name: prometheus-1
      type: prometheus" | kubectl apply -f -

This will enable the prometheus metrics backend on the default Mesh and automatically collect metrics for all of our traffic.

Now let’s go ahead and generate some traffic – to populate our charts – by using the demo application!
