thank you, that means a lot!

Also, I just got reminded that you need to clean up your environment -- just one command needed for that: "kind delete cluster -n "

Thanks for sharing.

Thankyou!

[@jiangao4426]

very nice walk through, everything just works when typing along. Towards the end of the blog post, when forwarding service port 9171, there is a missing digit, so the 917 won't work. Just pointing out the small typo. Thanks for the great tutorial

[@AyushPanditofficial]

Wow in one hour

[@AnaisUrlichs]

Hi, I just saw that you posted somewhere that you are unable to log into grafana? How did you name the prometheus helm installation? e.g. in my case it is called prom so the login password is prom-operator and the username should always be admin

[@AyushPanditofficial]

Hi all, I'm not getting all the pods and namespace in the Loki, what i do

[@BluAngy]

Hello, I'm confused by the tutorial. How did you create the monitoring-resources/new-dashboard.yaml file? Is this autogenerated or created by you?

[@dallyntolo145]

hi and thank you for this tuto i did your installation on a remote server and i'm at this level "kubectl port-forward -n demo service/prometheus-operated 9090:9090" but when i enter the ip of my server and the port : 9090 i don't have prometheus

[@AnaisUrlichs]

what service for prometheus on port 9090 do you get when you use "kubectl get all -n demo" -- you have to make sure that prometheus is running correctly, i.e. the prometheus pod so that the service can access it so also check the prometheus pod

[@dallyntolo145]

@@AnaisUrlichs here is: service/prometheus-operated ClusterIP None 9090/TCP 88m pod/prometheus-prom-kube-prometheus-stack-prometheus-0 2/2 Running 0 88m

@@dallyntolo145 Did yo get the answer. I think we need to use load balancer/nodeport
