Monitoring Spinnaker with Prometheus Operator on GKE
summary
Shows how to use Prometheus Operator on GKE to monitor a Spinnaker deployment, including the exact CRD used (ServiceMonitor), the sidecar metrics daemon that exposes Prometheus endpoints, and a bash setup script that converts Grafana JSON dashboards into labeled ConfigMaps so dashboards survive pod churn. Demo runs across three GKE clusters (≈150 GB RAM) and notes real data (one test shows 3 completed executions); repo includes Terraform and Helm examples and the solution is open source and working.
