Kubescape-Prometheus Integration

Most of the end-users either use prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack or prometheus-community/prometheus to install Prometheus for monitoring. Based on your choice of Prometheus, you can follow either of the below methods to enable kubescape monitoring with Prometheus.

Prometheus operator (kube-prometheus-stack) helm chart

1. Install the kube-prometheus-stack Helm Chart

   helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
   helm repo update
   kubectl create namespace prometheus
   helm install -n prometheus kube-prometheus-stack prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack --set prometheus.prometheusSpec.podMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false,prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false
   

2. Install the kubescape-operator Helm Chart with capabilities.prometheusExporter enabled

helm repo add kubescape https://kubescape.github.io/helm-charts/
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install <...> --set capabilities.prometheusExporter=enable

Prometheus community helm chart
