Installing GMP

1. Install the GMP CRDs(Custom Resource Definitions):

   kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/prometheus-engine/main/manifests/setup.yaml

2. Install the GMP operator:

   kubectl apply -f scenarios/gmp-operator/.reference/operator.yaml

   For this contribFest we're using the latest image of gmp-operator, which is not released yet. Usually you would apply https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/prometheus-engine/main/manifests/operator.yaml

3. Verify installation: confirm pods have running status.

   kubectl get pods -n gmp-system

Configuring Metric Collection and Export

Set up Scraping with PodMonitoring:

1. Apply a PodMonitoring: PodMonitoring's tell the Prometheus collectors what to scrape.

   kubectl apply -n gmp-system -f scenarios/gmp-operator/.reference/metric-source-podmonitoring.yaml

2. Verify Configuration: Check the Prometheus config file to confirm job exists.

   kubectl get configmaps -n gmp-system collector -o yaml

Enable Remote Write:

1. Edit the Operator Config:

      kubectl apply -n gmp-public -f scenarios/gmp-operator/.reference/config.yaml

2. Verify your metrics:

   kubectl port-forward -n remote svc/metric-backend 9090

• Confirm that metrics collected by GMP are visible. Should have the label operator set to gmp
