quickstart instructions exclude configmap.yaml, also need installation instructions

[bkcsfi]

these instructions don't work

kubectl apply -n argocd \
    -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-extension-metrics/main/manifests/install.yaml

because manifests/configmap.yaml does not get installed.

As a workaround, the configmap can be installed as a distinct resource:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
namespace: argocd
resources:
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-extension-metrics/main/manifests/configmap.yaml
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-extension-metrics/main/manifests/install.yaml

I have installed argocd extensions, metrics server and metrics extension. I also restarted argocd server, but the metrics tab does not appear in argocd.

Are there additional installation steps needed that haven't been documented?

From the config, it looks like argocd-extension-metrics is looking for a prometheus server at: prometheus-service.monitoring.svc.cluster.local. Makes me belive that this extension needs prometheus installed. I also haven't gotten it to work yet however.

Changing metrics end point also doesn't work all i see on pod logs

[GIN-debug] GET / --> github.com/sarabala1979/argo-observability/server.(*O11yServer).Run.func1 (3 handlers) │ │ [GIN-debug] GET /api/extension/o11y/applications/:application/groupkinds/:groupkind/rows/:row/graphs/:graph --> github.com/sarabala1979/argo-observability/server.(*O11yServer).queryMetrics-fm (3 handlers) │ │ [GIN-debug] GET /api/extension/o11y/applications/:application/groupkinds/:groupkind/dashboards --> github.com/sarabala1979/argo-observability/server.(*O11yServer).dashboardConfig-fm (3 handlers)

I'm running this on GKE with managed prometheus, but I don't know how to configure the extension to make use of that. The tab isn't showing up regardless.

I managed to show tab however charts are empty

What I did so far

1. Use raw extension.tar https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-extension-metrics/raw/main/manifests/extension.tar
2. update container image into sarabala1979/argocd-metrics-server:latest in install.yaml
3. strip prefix /extensions/metrics

in case you are using traefik
4. add traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/service.serversscheme: https into service definition
5. add --serverstransport.insecureskipverify=true

I see that this extension is not ready yet and still in development.

I'm newbie to kubernetes so I don't know what to do next to export metrics to prometheus.

@zek Great. can you share your configmap and metrics server log?

[autokilla47]

I also haven't gotten it to work yet however.

I have an external prometues and I set its address, but without results.

[SnoozeFreddo]

Same here

[sarabala1979]

@SnoozeFreddo Have you configured prometheus URL on configmap?

argocd-extension-metrics/manifests/configmap.yaml

Line 299 in 68f2063

"address": "http://prometheus-service.monitoring.svc.cluster.local:8080"

[SnoozeFreddo]

No i didn't. Thank you.

Same here. Using GKE managed Prometheus.
