ClickHouse-Metrics-Exporter Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened ClickHouse-Metrics-Exporter image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.

ClickHouse Metrics Exporter collects performance and operational metrics from ClickHouse servers and exposes them in a Prometheus-compatible format for monitoring.

Try It Out

Prerequisites

A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)
Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support (Installation instructions)
kubectl installed and configured

Step 1: Start Cluster

If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions

Step 2: Add Repository to your Local Client

Add the Helm chart to your local Helm client.

helm repo add clickhouse https://helm.altinity.com
helm repo update

Step 3: Create Namespace

Create a namespace:

kubectl create ns clickhouse

Step 4: Save Files Locally

Download the ClickHouse values file from the Minimus examples repo:

wget -O clickhouse.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minimusio/examples/main/clickhouse/clickhouse.yaml

The chart clickhouse/clickhouse installs the Altinity Operator as a subchart. If your cluster already has a cluster-wide operator (see the ClickHouse-Operator guide), edit the clickhouse.yaml file before you deploy to set operator.enabled: false.

Step 5: Deploy the Helm Chart

Deploy the Helm chart with the values file:

helm upgrade --install clickhouse clickhouse/clickhouse -f clickhouse.yaml -n clickhouse

Wait a few minutes and check that the Pods are up and running:

kubectl -n clickhouse get po

Confirm that Minimus images were deployed:

kubectl -n clickhouse describe pods | grep Image:

Step 6: Verify ClickHouse

Port-forward the ClickHouse HTTP interface to your local machine:

kubectl -n clickhouse port-forward service/clickhouse-clickhouse 8123:8123

Keep the terminal window open and visit http://localhost:8123/ in your browser. You should see the ClickHouse dashboard.

Clean Up

Uninstall the chart and clean up:

helm uninstall clickhouse -n clickhouse
kubectl delete ns clickhouse

Technical Considerations

The ClickHouse-Metrics-Exporter image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.

ClickHouse-Metrics-Exporter built by Minimus:

Runs as non-root by default as user 65534.
Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.

The Payoff

A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.

See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
