This example aims to demonstrate the deployment of an nginx ingress controller and use a ConfigMap to enable [nginx vts module](https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts
) to export metrics in prometheus format.
# vts-metrics
## vts-metrics
Vts-metrics export NGINX metrics. To deploy all the files simply run `kubectl apply -f nginx`. A deployment and service will be
created which already has a `prometheus.io/scrape: 'true'` annotation and if you added
the recommended Prometheus service-endpoint scraping [configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prometheus/prometheus/master/documentation/examples/prometheus-kubernetes.yml),
Prometheus will scrape it automatically and you start using the generated metrics right away.
## Default Backend
The default backend is a Service capable of handling all url paths and hosts the
nginx controller doesn't understand. This most basic implementation just returns
a 404 page:
```console
$ kubectl apply -f default-backend.yaml
deployment "default-http-backend" created
service "default-http-backend" created
$ kubectl -n kube-system get po
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
default-http-backend-2657704409-qgwdd 1/1 Running 0 28s
```
## Custom configuration
```console
$ cat nginx-vts-metrics-conf.yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
enable-vts-status: "true"
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: nginx-vts-metrics-conf
namespace: kube-system
name: nginx-configuration
namespace: ingress-nginx
labels:
app: ingress-nginx
```
```console
$ kubectl create -f nginx-vts-metrics-conf.yaml
```
## Controller
You can deploy the controller as follows:
```console
$ kubectl apply -f nginx-ingress-controller.yaml
deployment "nginx-ingress-controller" created
$ kubectl -n kube-system get po
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
default-http-backend-2657704409-qgwdd 1/1 Running 0 2m
nginx-ingress-controller-873061567-4n3k2 1/1 Running 0 42s
$ kubectl apply -f nginx-vts-metrics-conf.yaml
```
## Result
Check whether the ingress controller successfully generated the NGINX vts status:
```console
$ kubectl exec nginx-ingress-controller-873061567-4n3k2 -n kube-system cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf|grep vhost_traffic_status_display
$ kubectl exec nginx-ingress-controller-873061567-4n3k2 -n ingress-nginx cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf|grep vhost_traffic_status_display
vhost_traffic_status_display;
vhost_traffic_status_display_format html;
```
### NGINX vts dashboard
The vts dashboard provides real time metrics.

Because the vts port it's not yet exposed, you should forward the controller port to see it.
```console
$ kubectl port-forward $(kubectl get pods --selector=k8s-app=nginx-ingress-controller -n kube-system --output=jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) -n kube-system 18080
$ kubectl port-forward $(kubectl get pods --selector=k8s-app=nginx-ingress-controller -n ingress-nginx --output=jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) -n ingress-nginx 18080
```
Now open the url [http://localhost:18080/nginx_status](http://localhost:18080/nginx_status) in your browser.
### Prometheus metrics output
NGINX Ingress controller already has a parser to convert vts metrics to Prometheus format. It exports prometheus metrics to the address `:10254/metrics`.
```console
$ kubectl exec -ti -n kube-system $(kubectl get pods --selector=k8s-app=nginx-ingress-controller -n kube-system --output=jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) curl localhost:10254/metrics
$ kubectl exec -ti -n ingress-nginx $(kubectl get pods --selector=k8s-app=nginx-ingress-controller -n kube-system --output=jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) curl localhost:10254/metrics
