Observability Stack Setup

Stop flying blind in production. Get complete visibility into your Kubernetes platform with a production-ready observability stack that monitors metrics, logs, and alerts you when things go wrong.

Delivered in 1-2 weeks with everything you need: Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, Loki for log aggregation, pre-configured dashboards, alert rules, and integration with Slack or email.

What's Included

Prometheus & Grafana

Industry-standard metrics collection and visualisation. Pre-configured to monitor your Kubernetes cluster, nodes, and workloads out of the box.

Loki for Log Aggregation

Centralised log collection and querying from all your pods and services. Search across logs from multiple applications in one place.

Pre-Configured Dashboards

Production-ready Grafana dashboards for cluster health, pod metrics, namespace resources, and application performance. No dashboard building required.

Alert Rules & AlertManager

Intelligent alerting for critical issues like high CPU, memory pressure, pod crashes, and failed deployments. Get notified before users notice problems.

Slack

Slack & Email Integration

Alert notifications delivered directly to your team's Slack channels or email. Configure different channels for different severity levels.

Cost Visibility Dashboards

Track resource usage and costs across namespaces and teams. Understand where your cloud spending goes and identify optimisation opportunities.

What You'll Receive

Prometheus Stack Deployed

Prometheus with long-term storage, service discovery configured for your cluster, and optimised scraping of metrics from all workloads.

Grafana with Pre-Built Dashboards

Grafana instance with authentication configured and a comprehensive set of dashboards covering cluster health, node metrics, pod performance, and application monitoring.

Loki for Centralised Logging

Loki deployed with log collection agents running on all nodes. Query logs from any pod across your cluster using LogQL in Grafana.

AlertManager with Notification Routing

AlertManager configured with routing rules to send critical alerts to the right teams via Slack or email. Includes alert grouping and de-duplication.

Production-Ready Alert Rules

Intelligent alert rules for high CPU usage, memory pressure, disk space, pod crashes, deployment failures, and more. Fine-tuned thresholds to minimise false positives.

Cost Visibility & Resource Tracking

Dashboards showing resource consumption and estimated costs per namespace, team, and application. Identify cost optimisation opportunities at a glance.

Documentation & Runbooks

Comprehensive documentation covering dashboard usage, alert investigation procedures, and operational runbooks. Plus a knowledge transfer session to train your team.

Who It's For

Teams Running Kubernetes in Production

You have workloads in production but lack visibility into what's happening. Stop debugging issues blindly and get the observability you need.

Engineering Teams Needing Better Alerts

You're tired of discovering production issues through customer complaints. Get proactive alerting that notifies you before users are impacted.

Companies Managing Cloud Costs

You need visibility into resource usage to optimise costs. Track spending by team and namespace to identify where you can save money.

SRE Teams Building Platform Reliability

You're responsible for platform reliability and need proper observability. Get the metrics, logs, and alerts that SRE teams depend on.

Timeline & Process

This engagement typically takes 1-2 weeks from kick-off to handover, depending on your cluster setup and specific requirements.

1

Requirements Gathering

We discuss your observability needs, alert requirements, and integration preferences. Understanding your team's workflow ensures we deliver the right solution.

2

Deploy Prometheus & Grafana Stack

We deploy Prometheus with persistent storage and Grafana with authentication. Metrics collection begins immediately across your entire cluster.

3

Configure Loki for Log Aggregation

Deploy Loki and configure log collection agents on all nodes. Set up log retention policies and integrate with Grafana for unified log querying.

4

Build Dashboards & Configure Alerts

Create production-ready dashboards and configure intelligent alert rules. Set up AlertManager with routing to Slack or email based on your preferences.

5

Knowledge Transfer & Documentation Handover

We walk your team through dashboards, demonstrate log querying, and explain alert investigation procedures. Complete documentation and runbooks ensure your team is confident operating the stack.
