This repo is a working demo of how to process infrastructure metrics in Kubernetes using QuestDB.

• kind (requires either docker or podman)
• kubectl
• helm

To run the example, execute the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/sklarsa/questdb-metrics-blog-post.git cd questdb-metrics-blog-post ./run.sh

After a few minutes, all pods should be in the READY state and you should be able to open up a port-forward to the QuestDB frontend:

kubectl port-forward service/questdb -n questdb 9000:9000

From here, you can navigate to http://localhost:9000 and explore the metrics that are being ingested into QuestDB. The default Prometheus scrape interval is 30 seconds, so there might not be a ton of data in there, but you should see a list of tables, one per each metric that we are collecting.

Once you're done, you can clean up the entire experiment by deleting the cluster:

./cleanup.sh
