CNF-10142: Enable NROP metrics to be to scraped securely by Prometheus #1007

rbaturov · 2024-09-12T10:47:03Z

This PR encompasses all the required changes to reintegrate NROP metrics with Prometheus. It introduces a kube-rbac-proxy sidecar to establish a secure communication channel. The majority of the changes in this PR follow the guidelines outlined in the following guide:
https://rhobs-handbook.netlify.app/products/openshiftmonitoring/collecting_metrics.md/

The only difference between this implementation and the guide's is that we use a bearerTokenFile for Prometheus authentication instead of tls.crt and tls.key. This approach uses TLS but does not implement mTLS.

A follow-up PR will be issued to ensure we implement this for RTE metrics as well.
Moreover, will issue a PR adding an e2e test to the CI, for this functionality.

To validate that this PR is functioning correctly, please follow these steps:

build image of the operator (make docker-build docker-push)
run: make deploy
Attach to one of the prometheus pods oc exec -it prometheus-k8s-0 -n openshift-monitoring /bin/bash
run:

curl -v \
--cacert /etc/prometheus/configmaps/serving-certs-ca-bundle/service-ca.crt \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token)" \

at glance LGTM, but I'll have a proper review later on

let's merge #1008 before

please rebase on top of current main branch

need to be tested d/s before merge. Looks good, but we need the due diligence and I don't have enough bandwidth atm.

this is a pretty generic name for the system namespace
we can getaway with controller-manager generic name ONLY if we are in a numaresources namespace

But the system namespace will always be replaced with numaresources.
Do you wish to return to controller-manager-metrics-monitor?

ok, if this is gonna be sitting in the numaresources namespace, it's good

do we need this only in CI or in production in general?

For CI, which don't have prometheus installed we don't need this.
However, for production (OCP) if we opt to allow prometheus to scrape merics by default, we should apply these RBAC's.

+- auth_proxy_role.yaml

+- auth_proxy_client_clusterrole.yaml


same question, are those for CI or for production?

auth_proxy_role.yaml, auth_proxy_service.yamlandauth_proxy_role_binding.yaml` are mandatory for the sidecar operation. Meaning these three needed for CI (for curl tests) but also for production.
without them sidecar won't be ready.
The service deployment is mandatory as its annotation responsible for creating a secret consumed as a volume by the sidecar.

However, the auth_proxy_client_clusterrole.yaml is not being used at all

ok, so let's not add auth_proxy_client_clusterrole.yaml or unnecessary stuff in general

auth_proxy_role.yaml, auth_proxy_service.yamlandauth_proxy_role_binding.yaml` are mandatory for the sidecar operation. Meaning these three needed for CI (for curl tests) but also for production. without them sidecar won't be ready. The service deployment is mandatory as its annotation responsible for creating a secret consumed as a volume by the sidecar.

Could you elaborate about "not be ready"? I'd expect the sidecars to be up and running, but not be accessible by anyone in the cluster without these RBAC rules.

If the service for example won't be created, the secret that we mount as a volume won't be created. Therefore, this would result with an error and the sidecar state won't be ready.

ok, thanks. This is a possible problem for the backports, because makes them more invasive than expected.

This commit consist of the following changes: * Reenabled kube-rbac-proxy sidecar container to securely expose the /metrics endpoint for Prometheus scraping. * Added a secret to enforce HTTPS-only access to the /metrics endpoint, restricted to the Prometheus service account. * modified ServiceMonitor resource to enable Prometheus pods to scrape metrics. * Added an annotation to the deployment Service, which is monitored by the Service CA operator. This operator will generate the tls.key and tls.crt files inside the secret-kube-rbac-proxy-tls secret, which is used by the kube-rbac-proxy container. * Added Role and RoleBinding resources to grant the necessary permissions to the Prometheus service account. Most of this configuration was based on this guide: https://rhobs-handbook.netlify.app/products/openshiftmonitoring/collecting_metrics.md/ Signed-off-by: Ronny Baturov <[email protected]>
