aws-alb-ingress metrics on eks?

I'm using the official aws-alb-ingress-controller for ingress + load balancing to my services hosted in an EKS cluster.

Does this offer metrics of any kind? Preferably Prometheus metrics? To show things like volume metrics etc?

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-alb-ingress-controller

I don't see any mention of metrics in the docs, but metrics seems like a necessary part of any production load balancer.

Solution

  • Each AWS ALB Ingress Controller Pod
    Exposes prometheus /metrics on the same port 10254 where it responds to /healthz checks.
    Both endpoints are currently served with the same mux.
