Kepler (Kubernetes Efficient Power Level Exporter) uses eBPF to probe energy related system stats and exports as Prometheus metrics

Open Source Summit NA 2022 talk and demo

Kernel 4.18+, Cgroup V2

Need access to a Kubernetes cluster.

Deploying the Kepler exporter as a daemonset to run on all nodes. The following deployment will also create a service listening on port 9102.

# kubectl create -f manifests/kubernetes/deployment.yaml

1. Clone the kube-prometheus project to your local folder.

# git clone https://github.com/prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus

2. Deploy the whole monitoring stack using the config in the manifests directory. Create the namespace and CRDs, and then wait for them to be available before creating the remaining resources

# cd kube-prometheus
# kubectl apply --server-side -f manifests/setup
# until kubectl get servicemonitors --all-namespaces ; do date; sleep 1; echo ""; done
# kubectl apply -f manifests/

# cd ../kepler
# kubectl create -f manifests/kubernetes/keplerExporter-serviceMonitor.yaml

Import the pre-generated Kepler Dashboard into grafana
