Architecture

• Metrics Collection: Prometheus scrapes gateway metrics
• Visualization: Grafana dashboards display metrics
• Gateway: Inference Gateway deployed via helm chart with monitoring enabled
• Local LLM: Ollama provider included for testing

Prerequisites

• Task
• kubectl
• helm
• ctlptl (for cluster management)

Quick Start

1. Deploy infrastructure:

task deploy-infrastructure

2. Deploy Inference Gateway with monitoring:

task deploy-inference-gateway

3. Access Grafana dashboards:

kubectl -n monitoring port-forward svc/grafana-service 3000:3000

Or use the deployed ingress, add grafana.inference-gateway.local DNS to your /etc/hosts and open: http://grafana.inference-gateway.local/d/inference-gateway/inference-gateway-metrics

Login credentials:

Username: admin Password: admin

4. Deploy Ollama and simulate requests responses being sent to the gateway:

task deploy-ollama

task simulate-requests

Configuration

Monitoring Setup

• Edit YAMLs in prometheus/ and grafana/ directories
• Configure scrape intervals and dashboards as needed

Gateway Monitoring

• Monitoring settings configured via helm values in Taskfile.yaml
• ServiceMonitor CRD enables Prometheus scraping

Cleanup

task clean
