Etcd
Etcd is a distributed key-value store that plays a critical role in the management and coordination of distributed systems, particularly in Kubernetes clusters. It is designed to reliably store and provide access to critical data that must be shared between multiple nodes in a cluster, ensuring consistent state and coordination of changes.
Etcd's strength lies in its high availability and strong consistency, making it an essential component for distributed systems that require robust data synchronization and fault tolerance. Its ability to handle leader elections and maintain a distributed consensus is key to managing a cluster's state effectively.
Integrating Etcd with groundcover
To start accessing granular insights, just follow these 2 super easy steps:
Step 1: Enable Custom Metrics
Follow our quick guide on how to enable scraping custom metrics on groundcover.
Step 2: Import dashboard using Grafana ID
In the groundcover platform, go to Dashboards -> New -> Import.
In the box titled "Import via grafana.com", enter one of the following dashboard IDs, then click "Load".
| ID | Name | Description | More Info |
|---|---|---|---|
3070 | Etcd by Prometheus | Etcd Dashboard for Prometheus metrics scraper | |
10323 | etcd-clusters-as-pod | Etcd Dashboard from Prometheus for clusters running etcd as Kubernetes Pods | |
15308 | Etcd Cluster Overview | Etcd Cluster Overview showing details scraped from the etcd Prometheus metrics endpoint. | |
10859 | K8 Etcd | Etcd Dashboard for Prometheus metrics scraper | |
9733 | Etcd-for-k8s-cnδΈζ | Etcd Dashboard for Prometheus k8s-cn |
Note: The dashboards above are the 5 most downloaded Etcd dashboards on Grafana's website, and are listed by number of downloads. More dashboards are available on their website and the steps to add them is the same. Visit this page for the full list of Etcd dashboards.
That's it!
You can now see the imported dashboard in your list of Dashboards and start using it immediately.
You can repeat this action to load as many of these dashboards as you like.
If you import more than one of these dashboards, you may find it useful to create a Etcd Dashboards Folder in groundcover.
