Platon Mk3

Blog: platon-mk3.org

This project is currently WIP. The Mk3 stack consists of:

• Platon (queries prometheus and updates metrics in SQL format)
• ClickHouse (columnstore database holding metrics for analysis)
• Superset (Analytics UI supporting ClickHouse)

Get started

To get started with the current WIP state, connecting Platon to the Prometheus of an OpenShift cluster:

Build and run dependent containers

$ make run-deps

Build Platon

$ make

Port-forward Prometheus

$ oc port-forward pod/prometheus-k8s-0 9091:9090 -n openshift-monitoring

Run Platon

$ ./platon run -p http://localhost:9091 -c apiserver-cube.yaml

Open Superset

Superset should be available at localhost:8080. To view the data of the apiserver cube, create a datasource and chart from platon_db.default.apiservermemory
