Deploy the Portworx Metrics Endpoint

In this step, we’ll deploy a Python service that mimics the Portworx metrics endpoint. This will be used in the workshop to configure monitoring for Pure Storage.

Deploy the Portworx Metrics Endpoint

Run the following command to deploy the Portworx metrics endpoint service:

oc new-project portworx
oc apply -f ./portworx/k8s.yaml -n portworx

Test the Portworx Metrics Endpoint

Let’s ensure the Portworx metrics endpoint is working as expected.

Start a pod that has access to the curl command:

oc run --rm -it -n default curl --image=curlimages/curl:latest -- sh

Then run the following command to send a prompt to the endpoint:

curl http://portworx-metrics-sim.portworx:17001/metrics
