Is there a way to monitor kube cron jobs using prometheus

Question

Is there a way to monitor kube cronjob.

I have a kube cronjob which runs every 10mins on my cluster.. is there a way to collect metrics everytime my cronjob fails due to some error or notify when my cronjob has not been completed after a certain period of time.

Answer 1

I'm using these rules with kube-state-metrics:

groups:
- name: job.rules
  rules:
  - alert: CronJobRunning
    expr: time() -kube_cronjob_next_schedule_time > 3600
    for: 1h
    labels:
      severity: warning
    annotations:
      description: CronJob {{$labels.namespaces}}/{{$labels.cronjob}} is taking more than 1h to complete
      summary: CronJob didn't finish after 1h

  - alert: JobCompletion
    expr: kube_job_spec_completions - kube_job_status_succeeded  > 0
    for: 1h
    labels:
      severity: warning
    annotations:
      description: Job completion is taking more than 1h to complete
        cronjob {{$labels.namespaces}}/{{$labels.job}}
      summary: Job {{$labels.job}} didn't finish to complete after 1h

  - alert: JobFailed
    expr: kube_job_status_failed  > 0
    for: 1h
    labels:
      severity: warning
    annotations:
      description: Job {{$labels.namespaces}}/{{$labels.job}} failed to complete
      summary: Job failed
