I am currently working on integrating Sumo Logic in a AWS EKS cluster. After going through Sumo Logic's documentation on their integration with k8s I have arrived at the following section Installation Steps. This section of the documentation is a fork in the road where one must figure out if you want to continue with the installation :
With that said I am trying to figure out which scenario I am in as I am unsure. Let me explain, previous to working on this Sumo Logic integration I have completed the New Relic integration which makes me wonder if it uses Prometheus in any ways that could interfere with the Sumo Logic integration ?
So in order to figure that out I started by executing:
$ kubectl get pods

As you can see New Relic is running nri-bundle-nri-prometheus-ccd7b7fbd-2npvn which seems to correspond to the New Relic OpenMetric integration for Kubernetes or Docker. Browsing through New Relic's documentation I found:
We currently offer two integration options:
- Prometheus remote write integration. Use this if you currently have Prometheus servers and want an easy access to your combined metrics from New Relic.
- Prometheus OpenMetrics integration for Kubernetes or Docker. Use this if you’re looking for an alternative or replacement to a Prometheus server and store all your metrics directly in New Relic.
So from what I can gather I am not running Prometheus server or operator and I can continue with the Sumo Logic integration setup by following the section dedicated to installation with no pre-existing Prometheus installation ? This is what I am trying to clarify, wondering if someone can help as I am new to Kubernetes and Prometheus.
In the end I followed the Sumo Logic integration instructions dedicated to a setup with no pre-existing Prometheus installation and everything worked just fine.
