You have two options here: - If you have an Omnibus based GitLab installation within your Kubernetes cluster, you can leverage the bundled Prometheus server to [monitor Kubernetes](../../../../administration/monitoring/prometheus/index.md#configuring-prometheus-to-monitor-kubernetes). - To configure your own Prometheus server, you can follow the [Prometheus documentation](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/) or [our guide](../../../../administration/monitoring/prometheus/index.md#configuring-your-own-prometheus-server-within-kubernetes). -## Specifying the Environment label +## Specifying the Environment -In order to isolate and only display relevant metrics for a given environment -however, GitLab needs a method to detect which labels are associated. To do this, GitLab will [look for an `environment` label](metrics.md#identifying-environments). +In order to isolate and only display relevant CPU and Memory metrics for a given environment, GitLab needs a method to detect which containers it is running. Because these metrics are tracked at the container level, traditional Kubernetes labels are not available. + +Instead, the [Deployment](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) or [DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) name should begin with [CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG](../../../../ci/variables/README.md#predefined-variables-environment-variables). It can be followed by a `-` and additional content if desired. For example, a deployment name of `review-homepage-5620p5` would match the `review/homepage` environment. If you are using [GitLab Auto-Deploy](../../../../ci/autodeploy/index.md) and one of the two [provided Kubernetes monitoring solutions](../prometheus.md#getting-started-with-prometheus-monitoring), the `environment` label will be automatically added. |
