Monitoring Prometheus and Grafana with Helm


In my previous blog , I wrote about how I deployed a voting application [ consist of Python, Redis, .NET, PostgreSQL and Node.Js ] on kind cluster and setup a ingress for it.
And in this blog I am mentioning how I implemented the monitoring using promethues and grafana.
Steps
Installed Helm.
Created a namespace monitoring.
Added the Prometheus-community repo in Helm.
Installed the prometheus-stack which has Grafana and Promethaus configured for us.
While installing the prometheus-stack I assgined the nodeport so that I can port-forward them.
And now I can access the Prometheus and Grafana to perform monitoring.

Grafana
Conclusion
This approach provides unified monitoring for your voting platform, covering infrastructure and application health. Helm charts accelerate deployment, and the Prometheus-Grafana duo gives you detailed metrics, dashboards, and alerting with minimal manual setup.
