Docker-Compose .Net sample with Prometheus / Grafana configured

Photo by Kelly Bork on Unsplash

In a previous post, i have showed what prometheus-net can do.
Here is a simple example using docker-compose to setup a prometheus and grafana with a sample .Net website.

.Net Sample

I reused the webapp Razor template that i named sample.

dotnet new webapp sample

Then i added the package prometheus-net.AspNetCore and use it in Startup.cs file.


using Prometheus;

[...]

// in the Configure method

            app.UseMetricServer();
            app.UseHttpMetrics();

I reused a Dockerfile generated from devcontainer feature.

# See here for image contents: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/tree/v0.140.1/containers/dotnetcore/.devcontainer/base.Dockerfile

ARG VARIANT="3.1"
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:${VARIANT} AS build-env
WORKDIR /app

# Copy csproj and restore as distinct layers
COPY *.csproj ./
RUN dotnet restore

# Copy everything else and build
COPY . ./
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o out

# Build runtime image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build-env /app/out .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "sample.dll"]

In the Docker-Compose, i expose locally using 5001 port, but internally 80 port.

  app:
    build: .
    ports:
        - 5001:80

Prometheus setup

I used a simple Dockerfile and i copy the configuration file to scrap automatically metrics.

FROM prom/prometheus:latest

COPY ./prometheus.yml /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
# my global config
global:
  scrape_interval:     15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
  evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
  # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).

# Alertmanager configuration
alerting:
  alertmanagers:
  - static_configs:
    - targets:
      # - alertmanager:9093

# Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
rule_files:
  # - "first_rules.yml"
  # - "second_rules.yml"

# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
# Here it's Prometheus itself.
scrape_configs:
  # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
  - job_name: 'prometheus'

    # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
    # scheme defaults to 'http'.

    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090']
  - job_name: 'application'

    # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
    # scheme defaults to 'http'.

    static_configs:
      - targets: ['app']

As the target use internal network, i target 80 port, not 5001.

Grafana setup

The Dockerfile is again very simple.
I copy file to configure provisioning.

FROM grafana/grafana:7.2.1
COPY ./prometheus.yaml  /etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources/ 
COPY ./prometheus_dashboard.json  /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/prometheus_dashboard.json
COPY ./prometheus_dashboard.yaml  /etc/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/

The datasource configuration file uses the docker name as a dns.

# config file version
apiVersion: 1

# list of datasources that should be deleted from the database
deleteDatasources:
  - name: Prometheus
    orgId: 1

# list of datasources to insert/update depending
# what's available in the database
datasources:
  # <string, required> name of the datasource. Required
  - name: Prometheus
    # <string, required> datasource type. Required
    type: prometheus
    # <string, required> access mode. proxy or direct (Server or Browser in the UI). Required
    access: proxy
    # <int> org id. will default to orgId 1 if not specified
    orgId: 1
    # <string> custom UID which can be used to reference this datasource in other parts of the configuration, if not specified will be generated automatically
    # uid: my_unique_uid
    # <string> url
    url: http://prometheus:9090

The configuration file for provisioning dashboard is simple too, and allow us to set where the json file will be found.

apiVersion: 1

providers:
  # <string> an unique provider name. Required
  - name: 'prometheus-net'
    # <int> Org id. Default to 1
    orgId: 1
    # <string> provider type. Default to 'file'
    type: file
    # <bool> disable dashboard deletion
    disableDeletion: false
    # <int> how often Grafana will scan for changed dashboards
    updateIntervalSeconds: 10
    # <bool> allow updating provisioned dashboards from the UI
    allowUiUpdates: false
    options:
      # <string, required> path to dashboard files on disk. Required when using the 'file' type
      path:  /var/lib/grafana/dashboards
      # <bool> use folder names from filesystem to create folders in Grafana
      foldersFromFilesStructure: true

The configuration file for dashboard is a copy of the dashboard model.

Final step

The full docker-compose is :

version: '3.8'

services:
  prometheus:
    build: ./prometheus
    ports:
        - 9090:9090

  grafana:
     build: ./grafana
     ports:
        - 3000:3000

  app:
    build: .
    ports:
        - 5001:80

Once everything is set, we can do:

docker-compose up -d

And the following dashboard is available right way (one authentication is set) :

Grafana Dashboard

Hope this helps !
