I have used the prometheus helm chart from https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts to setup a prometheus server on EKS for me. That involves prometheus-node-exporter too. Now what I'm trying to do is modify the prometheus-node-exporter service port to another one from 9100.
I updated the value under prometheus-node-exportes/values.yaml to this :
service:
type: ClusterIP
port: 9400
targetPort: 9400
nodePort:
portName: metrics
listenOnAllInterfaces: true
annotations:
prometheus.io/scrape: "true"
but when I do :
helm upgrade prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus --namespace monitoring
the changes do not take effect at all.
How can I update values of other subcharts like prometheus-node-exporter in my helm chart?
The way that your command is running, is pulling the chart from the internet, you are not passing any extra values file.
If the port is all you are changing, use this command to pass the port value:
helm upgrade prometheus prometheus-community/prometheus --namespace monitoring --set prometheus-node-exporter.service.port=<your-port>
Otherwise, you can download the promethues values file, then add the mods to it, e.g.:
prometheus-node-exporter:
## If false, node-exporter will not be installed
##
enabled: true
rbac:
pspEnabled: false
containerSecurityContext:
allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
service:
port: <your-port>
Then, pass the values file to the upgrade command using -f values.yaml
