VictoriaMetrics Learning

Notes from running the victoria-metrics-k8s-stack Helm chart in my home lab. The chart bundles VictoriaMetrics for storage, vmagent for scraping, vmalert and Alertmanager for alerting, and Grafana for dashboards, so most of what I learn is about how those pieces fit together on Kubernetes.

Everything here is open source and reproducible on any cluster. This is a series, so it will grow as I add more of the stack.

Guides

1. Sync Grafana dashboards from Git with the sidecar and ConfigMaps: keep dashboards as code so a lost PVC does not lose your dashboards.
