# Existing Cluster with the AWS Observability accelerator base module and Java monitoring
This example demonstrates how to use the AWS Observability Accelerator Terraform
modules with Java monitoring enabled.
The current example deploys the [AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Operator](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/opentelemetry.html) for Amazon EKS with its requirements and make use of existing
Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and Amazon Managed Grafana workspaces.
It is based on the `java module`, one of our [workloads modules](../../modules/workloads/)
to provide an existing EKS cluster with an OpenTelemetry collector,
curated Grafana dashboards, Prometheus alerting and recording rules with multiple
configuration options on the cluster infrastructure.
## Prerequisites
Ensure that you have the following tools installed locally:
1. [aws cli v2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html)
2. [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)
3. [terraform](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/install-cli)
## Setup
This example uses a local terraform state. If you need states to be saved remotely,
on Amazon S3 for example, visit the [terraform remote states](https://www.terraform.io/language/state/remote) documentation
1. Clone the repo using the command below
```
git clone https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator.git
```
2. Initialize terraform
```console
cd examples/existing-cluster-java
terraform init
```
3. AWS Region
Specify the AWS Region where the resources will be deployed. Edit the `terraform.tfvars` file and modify `aws_region="..."`. You can also use environement variables `export TF_VAR_aws_region=xxx`.
4. Amazon EKS Cluster
To run this example, you need to provide your EKS cluster name.
If you don't have a cluster ready, visit [this example](../eks-cluster-with-vpc)
first to create a new one.
Add your cluster name for `eks_cluster_id="..."` to the `terraform.tfvars` or use an environment variable `export TF_VAR_eks_cluster_id=xxx`.
5. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace (optional)
If you have an existing workspace, add `managed_prometheus_workspace_id=ws-xxx`
or use an environment variable `export TF_VAR_managed_prometheus_workspace_id=ws-xxx`.
If you don't specify anything a new workspace will be created for you.
6. Amazon Managed Grafana workspace
If you have an existing workspace, create an environment variable `export TF_VAR_managed_grafana_workspace_id=g-xxx`.
7. Grafana API Key
Amazon Managed Service for Grafana provides a control plane API for generating Grafana API keys. We will provide to Terraform
a short lived API key to run the `apply` or `destroy` command.
Ensure you have necessary IAM permissions (`CreateWorkspaceApiKey, DeleteWorkspaceApiKey`)
```sh
export TF_VAR_grafana_api_key=`aws grafana create-workspace-api-key --key-name "observability-accelerator-$(date +%s)" --key-role ADMIN --seconds-to-live 1200 --workspace-id $TF_VAR_managed_grafana_workspace_id --query key --output text`
```
## Deploy
```sh
terraform apply -var-file=terraform.tfvars
```
or if you had only setup environment variables, run
```sh
terraform apply
```
## Visualization
1. Prometheus datasource on Grafana
Open your Grafana workspace and under Configuration -> Data sources, you will see `aws-observability-accelerator`. Open and click `Save & test`. You will then see a notification confirming that the Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace is ready to be used on Grafana.
2. Grafana dashboards
Go to the Dashboards panel of your Grafana workspace. There will be a folder called `Observability Accelerator Dashboards`
Open the "Java/JMX" dashboard to view its visualization
2. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus rules and alerts
Open the Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus console and view the details of your workspace. Under the `Rules management` tab, you will find new rules deployed.
To setup your alert receiver, with Amazon SNS, follow [this documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prometheus/latest/userguide/AMP-alertmanager-receiver.html)
## Deploy an Example Java Application
In this section we will reuse an example from the AWS OpenTelemetry collector [repository](https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-collector/blob/main/docs/developers/container-insights-eks-jmx.md). For convenience, the steps can be found below.
1. Clone [this repository](https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-test-framework) and navigate to the `sample-apps/jmx/` directory.
2. Authenticate to Amazon ECR
```sh
export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=`aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text`
export AWS_REGION={region}
aws ecr get-login-password --region $AWS_REGION | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com
```
3. Create an Amazon ECR repository
```sh
aws ecr create-repository --repository-name prometheus-sample-tomcat-jmx \
--image-scanning-configuration scanOnPush=true \
--region $AWS_REGION
```
4. Build Docker image and push to ECR.
```sh
docker build -t $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/prometheus-sample-tomcat-jmx:latest .
docker push $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID.dkr.ecr.$AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com/prometheus-sample-tomcat-jmx:latest
```
5. Install sample application
```sh
export SAMPLE_TRAFFIC_NAMESPACE=javajmx-sample
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-test-framework/terraform/sample-apps/jmx/examples/prometheus-metrics-sample.yaml > metrics-sample.yaml
sed -i "s/{{aws_account_id}}/$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID/g" metrics-sample.yaml
sed -i "s/{{region}}/$AWS_REGION/g" metrics-sample.yaml
sed -i "s/{{namespace}}/$SAMPLE_TRAFFIC_NAMESPACE/g" metrics-sample.yaml
kubectl apply -f metrics-sample.yaml
```
Verify that the sample application is running:
```sh
kubectl get pods -n $SAMPLE_TRAFFIC_NAMESPACE
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
tomcat-bad-traffic-generator 1/1 Running 0 11s
tomcat-example-7958666589-2q755 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 11s
tomcat-traffic-generator 1/1 Running 0 11s
```
## Advanced configuration
1. Cross-region Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace
If your existing Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace is in another AWS Region,
add this `managed_prometheus_region=xxx` and `managed_prometheus_workspace_id=ws-xxx`.
2. Cross-region Amazon Managed Grafana workspace
If your existing Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace is in another AWS Region,
add this `managed_prometheus_region=xxx` and `managed_prometheus_workspace_id=ws-xxx`.
## Destroy resources
If you leave this stack running, you will continue to incur charges. To remove all resources
created by Terraform, [refresh your Grafana API key](#apikey) and run:
```sh
terraform destroy -var-file=terraform.tfvars
```
