This feature is currently in beta. It is enabled by default.
Multi-Cluster Diagnostics offers a single view into the health of all the clusters you currently monitor with Kubecost.
Health checks include, but are not limited to:
Whether Kubecost is correctly emitting metrics
Whether Kubecost is being scraped by Prometheus
Whether Prometheus has scraped the required metrics
Whether Kubecost's ETL files are healthy
Configuration
# This is an abridged example. Full example in link below.diagnostics:enabled:trueisDiagnosticsPrimary:enabled:true# Only enable this on your primary cluster# Ensure you have configured a unique CLUSTER_ID.prometheus:server:global:external_labels:cluster_id:YOUR_CLUSTER_ID# Ensure you have configured a storage config secret. Using `.Values.thanos.storeSecretName` would also work here.kubecostModel:federatedStorageConfigSecret:federated-store
Additional configuration options can found in the values.yaml under diagnostics:.
Architecture
The multi-cluster diagnostics feature is run as an independent deployment (i.e. deployment/kubecost-diagnostics). Each diagnostics deployment monitors the health of Kubecost and sends that health data to the central object store at the /diagnostics filepath.
The below diagram depicts these interactions. This diagram is specific to the requests required for diagnostics only. For additional diagrams, see our multi-cluster guide.
API usage
The diagnostics API can be accessed through /model/multi-cluster-diagnostics?window=2d (or /model/mcd for short)
The window query parameter is required, which will return all diagnostics within the specified time window.
The Multi-cluster Diagnostics API provides a single view into the health of all the clusters you currently monitor with Kubecost.
