In this interactive workshop, you’ll get hands-on with a working Kubernetes environment, improve your understanding of the Prometheus Agent and how to make configuration changes that affect the metrics sent to New Relic.

You’ll instrument a cluster in just a few clicks with New Relic, and then using a virtual and interactive lab platform you’ll work with powerful kubectl commands to explore the cluster, work with labels, annotations and Helm settings to configure your environment.

Agenda:

• Install the Prometheus Agent (and other New Relic components) into a Minikube cluster
• Work with Kubernetes labels and annotations to incrementally ingest new Prometheus metrics into your New Relic account
• View the data ingest in real-time with a supplemental New Relic dashboard specifically built for this Instruqt lab
• Configure the Prometheus Agent to scrape metrics from a static target requiring authentication
• Learn how to manipulate data ingest by dropping labels and metrics using Prometheus Agent configuration techniques
• Install a Prometheus Quickstart from the New Relic Quickstart library
