Grafana and cert-manager on GKE

Question

I would like to deploy the kube-prometheus-stack helm chart on a GKE cluster using the following values:

grafana:
  ingress:
    enabled: true
    hosts:
      - grafana.example.com
    annotations:
      cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt-issuer"
      acme.cert-manager.io/http01-edit-in-place: true
    tls:
      - secretName: "tls-grafana"
        hosts:
          - grafana.example.com

The following is the ClusterIssuer used for cert-manager:

---
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-issuer
spec:
  acme:
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    email: [email protected]
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: letsencrypt-secret
    solvers:
      - http01:
          ingress:
            class: nginx

The grafana ingress is created by no IP address is assigned to it by GCP.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The ClusterIssuer has no bearing on whether the Grafana ingress is created or not. If your ingress is not getting an IP, you have no ingress controller configured on your cluster.

Alternatively do a kubectl describe on the ingress and look at the events section at the bottom of the output. Sometimes, there will be messages there that might tell you where you need to look.
