Jsonnet for Cortex on Kubernetes

This repo has the jsonnet for deploying Cortex and the related monitoring in Kubernetes.

---

NOTE

If you are more familiar with helm you should use the helm chart for cortex

---

To generate the YAMLs for deploying Cortex:

1. Make sure you have tanka and jb installed:

   Follow the steps at https://tanka.dev/install. If you have go installed locally you can also use:

   $ # make sure to be outside of GOPATH or a go.mod project
   $ GO111MODULE=on go install github.com/grafana/tanka/cmd/[email protected]
   $ GO111MODULE=on go install github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler/cmd/[email protected]

2. Initialise the Tanka repo, install the Cortex and Kubernetes Jsonnet libraries.

   $ mkdir <name> && cd <name>
   $ tk init --k8s=1.21 # this includes github.com/jsonnet-libs/k8s-libsonnet/1.21@main
   $ jb install github.com/cortexproject/cortex-jsonnet/cortex@main

3. Use the example cortex-manifests.jsonnet.example:

   $ cp vendor/cortex/cortex-manifests.jsonnet.example environments/default/main.jsonnet

4. Check what is in the example:

   $ cat environments/default/main.jsonnet
   ...

5. Generate the YAML manifests:

   $ tk show environments/default

   To output YAML manifests to ./manifests, run:

   $ tk export manifests environments/default

Monitoring for Cortex

To generate the Grafana dashboards and Prometheus alerts for Cortex:

$ GO111MODULE=on go install github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool@2ff523ea63d1cdeee2a10e01d1d48d20adcc7030
$ GO111MODULE=on go install github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler/cmd/[email protected]
$ git clone https://github.com/cortexproject/cortex-jsonnet
$ cd cortex-jsonnet
$ make build-mixin

This will leave all the alerts and dashboards in cortex-mixin/cortex-mixin.zip (or cortex-mixin/out).
