Accessing a GKE Alertmanager

Table of Contents

[TOC]

This should be a temporary way to access Alertmanager for our GKE infrastructure. Original reference.

You should have already configured console kubectl access for these steps to work. K8s For Operations

1. Log into the console server, get the service to access, and initiate a port-forward command:
   • ssh console-01-sv-gprd.c.gitlab-production.internal
   • kubectl get svc -n monitoring
   • kubectl port-forward -n monitoring svc/gitlab-monitoring-promethe-alertmanager 9093:9093
2. Build a tunnel to the console:
   • ssh -NL 9093:localhost:9093 console-01-sv-gprd.c.gitlab-production.internal
3. Open http://localhost:9093 in a local browser.
