Lens + Victoria metrics cluster

Lens Support & Troubleshooting
#1

I have configured the Victoria metrics cluster to collect and store all the metrics on my K8S cluster.
But Lens doesn’t get any of those metrics. So I can’t see in Lens the actual status. The VM cluster works fine, because I have all the metrics in Grafana.
The Key point here is the Victoria metrics mode, with a single mode it works fine, but with the cluster mode doesn’t.
I tried to configure Lens with

  • Metrics Source - Prometheus
  • Prometheus - Helm 14.x (Helm)
  • Prometheus service address - monitoring/vmselect-vmcluster:8481/select/0/prometheus (tried even with double \ monitoring/vmselect-vmcluster:8481//select//0//prometheus)

Any success stories on how to make it work?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello @korvin,

Thank you for reaching out to Lens Forum!

Did you set up Victoria Metrics Operator? Please check this link: Guides: Getting started with VM Operator

After that, set the Helm14.x then simply add the Prometheus Service address in cluster settings. (/:)

Hello @tkudinov,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have Victoria Metrics Operator installed.
Today I updated it to the latest version, to be sure it is not a version issue.
After updating, I tried your option with Helm 14.x and the service address, but I still haven’t had any luck.
I don’t have Prometheus Service, I have VM services.
This is the settings
And here I don’t see any metrics, but the service configuration looks good
