Troubleshooting Hints#
Caascad, NGOT client and NGOT "central" (mon3 and mon4)#
kubectl get pods -n <monitoring_namespace> | grep thanos # check querier/store-gateway pods are up and running
kubectl logs <thanos_pods> -n <monitoring_namespace>
kubectl get pods -n <monitoring_namespace> | grep prometheus # check 2 pods are up and running
kubectl logs <prometheus_pod> -c thanos-sidecar -n <monitoring_namespace> # check logs of sidecar container
kubectl get pods -n <thanos_pods> -n <monitoring_namespace> -o yaml | grep bucket # check bucket name is correct for querier/store-gateway
kubectl get pods <prometheus_pod> -n <monitoring_namespace> -o yaml | grep bucket # check bucket name is correct for sidecar container
kubectl get svc -n <monitoring_namespace> | grep thanos # service querier, sidecar, store-gateway should be present
Tip
Where <monitoring_namespace> can be:
- Zone Cloud:
monitoring,monitoring-clientormonitoring-app - Zone Infra:
monitoringormonitoring-consumption
- Notice the
namespacelabel in the alert
To check if bucket name is correct, follow bucket nomenclature documentation.
NGOT "central" (mon3, mon4)#
FIXME PF-3028: remove "mon3, mon4" in the title.
First identify which querier has a high query error rate:
- Querier for Grafana, namespace
grafana-obs-corp-prd/grafana-obs-corp-stg. - Querier proxy, namespace
monitoring-stack-corp-obs-corp-prd/monitoring-stack-corp-obs-corp-stg, with "proxy" in its name. - Querier dedicated to Thanos-Ruler, namespace
monitoring-stack-corp-obs-corp-prd/monitoring-stack-corp-obs-corp-stgwithout "proxy" in its name.
Check the logs:
kubectl -n <namespace> get pod |grep quer
kubectl -n <namespace> logs <thanos_pods>
The logs may help to find out what component fails to request.
It is also possible to get the logs of the components that fails requests to the Querier:
- Querier for Grafana: check Grafana.
- Querier proxy: check the querier for Grafana.
- Querier dedicated to Thanos-Ruler: check Thanos-Ruler.
