Grafana Mimir

A high-availability Grafana Mimir deployment for Docker Swarm

Getting Started

You might need to create swarm-scoped overlay network called dockerswarm_monitoring for all the stacks to communicate if you haven't already.

$ docker network create --scope=swarm --driver overlay --attachable dockerswarm_monitoring

We provided a base configuration file for Grafana Mimir. You can find it in the config folder.
Please make a copy as configs/mimir.yaml, make sure to change the following values:

common:
  storage:
    backend: s3
    s3:
      endpoint: minio:9000
      region: us-east-1
      bucket_name: mimir
      access_key_id: access_key_id
      secret_access_key: secret_access_key
      insecure: true

alertmanager:
  external_url: http://alertmanager:9093/alertmanager

And add any additional configuration you need to configs/mimir.yaml.

Object Storage buckets

You need to create the following buckets in your object storage:

• mimir
• mimir-blocks
• mimir-ruler
• mimir-alertmanager

You can change the bucket names in the configs/mimir.yaml file. Look for the bucket_name property.

Example

blocks_storage:
  s3:
    bucket_name: mimir-blocks # Change this to your bucket name

Deployment

To deploy the stack, run the following command:

$ make deploy

Destroy

To destroy the stack, run the following command:

$ make destroy
