what actually happens by running gluster exporter inside gluster pod?

Question

I created a glusterfs storage. It automatically created gluster pod. Now I went inside the pod and I ran gluster exporter there. My goal was to monitor gluster storage that I created. Did I achieved my goal? If not ,what I did then by running gluster exporter inside the gluster pod?

Answer 1

It seems glusterfs dynamic provisioning, so you have already configured heketi component for provisioning glusterfs volumes automatically like below one.

• Hello World application using GlusterFS Dynamic Provisioning

  [ https://github.com/gluster/gluster-kubernetes/blob/master/docs/examples/hello_world/README.md ]

Then I think you can monitor easily via heketi REST API.
