Kubecost Data Status Metrics

Overview

The metrics listed below are emitted by Kubecost and scraped by Prometheus to help monitor the status of Kubecost data pipelines:

1. kubecost_allocation_data_status, which presents the active allocation data's time series status

2. kubecost_asset_data_status, which presents the time series status of the active asset data

These metrics provide data status through to proactively alert and analyze the allocation and asset data at a point in time.

Metric details

Allocation metrics

The metrics below depict the status of active allocation data at a point in time. The resolution is either daily or hourly, which aligns one-to-one with the data status of allocation daily and hourly store. Each hourly and daily stores have four types of status

1. Empty: Depicts the total number of empty allocationSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

2. Error: Depicts the total number of errors in the allocationSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

3. Success: Depicts the total number of successful allocationSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

4. Warning: Depicts the total number of warnings in all allocationSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

Asset metrics

The metrics below depict the status of active asset data at a point in time. The resolution is either daily or hourly, which aligns one-to-one with the data status of asset daily and hourly store. Each hourly and daily stores have four types of status

1. Empty: Depicts the total number of empty assetSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

2. Error: Depicts the total number of errors in the assetSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

3. Success: Depicts the total number of successful assetSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

4. Warning: Depicts the total number of warnings in all assetSet in each store hourly or daily at a point in time.

Usage details

• kubecost_asset_data_status is written to Prometheus during the assetSet and assetLoad events.

• kubecost_allocation_data_status is written to Prometheus during the allocationSet and allocationLoad events.

• During the cleanup operation, the corresponding entries of each allocation and asset are deleted to avoid the metrics having those particular entries having parity with respective allocation and asset stores.
