Ingress Monitor Controller
A Kubernetes/Openshift controller to watch ingresses/routes and create liveness alerts for your apps/microservices in Uptime checkers.
DEPRECATION NOTICE
This chart is deprecated and no longer supported.
Problem Statement
We want to monitor ingresses in a kubernetes cluster and routes in openshift cluster via any uptime checker but the problem is having to manually check for new ingresses or routes / removed ingresses or routes and add them to the checker or remove them.
Solution
IngressMonitorController will continuously watch ingresses/routes in specific or all namespaces, and automatically add / remove monitors in any of the uptime checkers. With the help of this solution, you can keep a check on your services and see whether they're up and running and live, without worrying about manually registering them on the Uptime checker.
Supported Uptime Checkers
Currently we support the following monitors:
Usage
The following quickstart let's you set up Ingress Monitor Controller to register uptime monitors for ingresses/routes in all namespaces:

Enable for your Ingress/Route
You will need to add the following annotation on your ingresses/routes so that the controller is able to recognize and monitor it.
"monitor.stakater.com/enabled": "true" -
Deploy the controller by running the following command:
helm install --name imc-stakater . --namespace default
