You access metrics through the Grafana UI. Grafana is the visualization tool for Prometheus.
- To open Grafana, enter the following command:
kubectl port-forward --namespace knative-monitoring $(kubectl get pods --namespace knative-monitoring --selector=app=grafana --output=jsonpath="{.items..metadata.name}") 3000
- This starts a local proxy of Grafana on port 3000. For security reasons, the Grafana UI is exposed only within the cluster.
-
Navigate to the Grafana UI at http://localhost:3000.
-
Select the Home button on the top of the page to see the list of pre-installed dashboards (screenshot below):
