problem

I would like to receive metrics for the filesystems:

/data
/var/lib/user-docker
/var/lib/kubelet
/opt/rke

but I only have metrics from filesystem:

the workaround I found:

Create the mountpoints under /mnt:

By default, /media and /mnt are mounted as shared in the console container. This means that mounts within these directories will propagate to the host as well as other system services that mount these folders as shared.

ros config set mounts ‘[["/dev/sdb1","/mnt/var/lib/docker",“ext4”,""],["/dev/sdb2","/mnt/data",“ext4”,""],["/dev/sdb3","/mnt/var/lib/kubelet",“ext4”,""],["/dev/sdb4","/mnt/opt/rke",“ext4”,""]]’

And create symbolic links on cloud-config like:

write_files:

  • path: /etc/rc.local
    permissions: “0755”
    owner: root
    content: |
    #!/bin/bash
    ln -s /mnt/data /data
    ln -s /mnt/var/lib/kubelet /var/lib/kubelet
    ln -s /mnt/opt/rke /opt/rke
