So, let’s continue our journey with migrating GitLab to Kubernetes. See previous parts: GitLab: Components, Architecture, Infrastructure, and Launching from the Helm Chart in Minikube GitLab: Helm chart of values, dependencies, and deployment in Kubernetes with AWS S3 GitLab: міграція даних з GitLab cloud та процес backup-restore у self-hosted версії в Kubernetes In general, everything is working,… Read More »
Good – we learned how to launch Loki – Grafana Loki: architecture and running in Kubernetes with AWS S3 storage and bolted-shipper, we also figured out how to configure alerts – Grafana Loki: alerts from the Loki Ruler and labels from logs. Now it’s time to figure out what we can do in Loki using… Read More »
For general information on Grafana Loki, see the Grafana Loki: architecture and running in Kubernetes with AWS S3 storage and boltdb-shipper. Among other services that make up Loki, there is a separate service called ruler that is responsible for working with alerts that can be generated directly from logs. The idea is very simple:… Read More »

The last time I worked with Loki when it was still in Beta, and it looked much simpler then than it does now. In the new project, there is no logging system at all, and since we all love the Grafana stack, we also decided to use Loki for logging. Although to be honest,… Read More »
Recently, AWS blocked our AWS Simple Email Service because of its low bounce rate. This can be checked in the AWS SES > Reputation Dashboard, our account currently has Under review status: After we’ve connected AWS Tech Support, they enabled it back, but we must solve the issue asap, and have to monitor AWS SES… Read More »
Actually, this post was planned as a short note about using NodeAffinity for Kubernetes Pod: But then, as often happens, after starting writing about one thing, I faced another, and then another one, and as a result – I made this long-read post about Kubernetes load-testing. So, I’ve started about NodeAffinity, but then wondered how… Read More »
Continuing with the Kubernetes: monitoring with Prometheus – exporters, a Service Discovery, and its roles, where we configured Prometheus manually to see how it’s working – now, let’s try to use Prometheus Operator installed via Helm chart. So, the task is spin up a Prometheus server and all necessary exporter in an AWS Elastic Kubernetes… Read More »
Currently, to collect metrics from the AWS CloudWatch we are using AWS’s own cloudwatch-exporter, see the Prometheus: CloudWatch exporter — сбор метрик из AWS и графики в Grafana post (in Rus), but it has a few gaps: it’s written in Java, so uses CPU/memory of the monitoring host doesn’t scrapes AWS tags from resources uses… Read More »
The last time I configured Loki for logs collecting and monitoring was in February 2019 – almost a year ago, see the Grafana Labs: Loki – logs collecting and monitoring system post, when Loki was in its Beta state. Now we faced with outgoing traffic issues in our Production environments and can’t find who guilty for… Read More »
