Monitor EKS Logs and Metrics using SigNoz

This document will walk you through the steps to monitor AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) logs and metrics using SigNoz.

Prerequisites

An EKS cluster running
Helm installed on your machine
SigNoz Cloud account

Setup

Step 1: Add SigNoz Helm repository

To add the SigNoz Helm repository to your helm client, run the following command:

helm repo add signoz https://charts.signoz.io

Step 2 (Optional): Update charts

If the chart is already present, update to the latest version using the below command:

helm repo update

Step 3: Configuration file

Create overrides-value.yaml file with the follwoing configuration

global:
  cloud: aws
  clusterName: <CLUSTER_NAME>
  deploymentEnvironment: <DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT>
otelCollectorEndpoint: ingest.{region}.signoz.cloud:443
otelInsecure: false
signozApiKey: <SIGNOZ_INGESTION_KEY>
presets:
  otlpExporter:
    enabled: true
  loggingExporter:
    enabled: false
  resourceDetection:
    detectors:
      - eks
      - system

<CLUSTER_NAME>- Name of the Kubernetes cluster or a unique identifier of the cluster. <DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT> - Deployment environment of your application. Example: "staging", "production", etc.

{region} - Ingestion region of your SigNoz Cloud instance. Can be us, eu or in. <SIGNOZ_INGESTION_KEY> - Ingestion key for your SigNoz Cloud instance.

Step 4: Install k8s-infra chart

Install install the k8s-infra chart with the configuration mentioned in the previous step, run the below command:

helm install my-release signoz/k8s-infra -f override-values.yaml

Visualise Logs and Metrics

Logs

Once you're done with the Setup, you should be able to see your EKS logs in the Logs explorer under the Logs tab of your SigNoz Cloud instance.

Metrics

To visualise metrics, you can either

Use pre-built dashboards

You can use the pre-built dashboards for monitroing your EKS cluster. Here's list of dashboards you can use:

Import Dashboard with PVC Metrics
You can import dashboard with PVC metrics of Kubernetes cluster from here.
Import Dashboard with Overall EKS pods Metrics
You can import dashboard with the general Kubernetes pods metrics of your K8s cluster from here.
Import Dashboard with Detailed EKS pods Metrics
You can import dashboard with more detailed granular Kubernetes pods metrics of your K8s cluster from here.
Import Dashboard with Overall EKS Node Metrics
You can import dashboard with the general Kubernetes node metrics of your K8s cluster from here.
Import Dashboard with Detailed EKS Node Metrics
You can import dashboard with more detailed granular Kubernetes node metrics of your K8s cluster from here.
Import Dashboard with Detailed EKS Cluster Metrics
You can import dashboard with more detailed granular Kubernetes node metrics of your K8s cluster from here.
