Verify UFM Telemetry

This page provides verification steps for the UFM telemetry data flow to VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs.

Prerequisites

  • The Configure UFM Telemetry procedure is complete.
  • The service Kubernetes cluster is running with telemetry pods deployed.

Verify UFM Telemetry Pods

  1. Verify that the VictoriaMetrics pods are running:

    Run on K8s control plane
    kubectl get pods -n telemetry -o wide | grep vm
    

    VictoriaMetrics Pods

  2. Verify that the VictoriaMetrics service is running:

    Run on K8s control plane
    kubectl get service -n telemetry -o wide | grep vm
    

    VictoriaMetrics Service

  3. Verify VMagent logs for UFM scraping to view recent logs:

    Run on K8s control plane
    VMAGENT_POD=$(kubectl get pods -n telemetry -l app.kubernetes.io/name=vmagent -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
    kubectl logs $VMAGENT_POD -n telemetry -c vmagent --tail=50
    

    VMAgent UFM Logs

View UFM Metrics in VictoriaMetrics UI (VMUI)

Use the VMUI to validate that UFM telemetry data is being collected.

  1. Note the External IP and port number of the VictoriaMetrics service:

    Run on K8s control plane
    kubectl get svc -n telemetry | grep vmselect
    

    vmselect Service

  2. Access the VMUI in a web browser:

    https://<external vmselect loadbalancer IP>:8481/select/vmui
    

    VMUI for UFM

  3. Filter and view UFM InfiniBand metrics using queries in VMUI. For example:

    {source="ufm", subsystem="infiniband"}
    

View UFM Logs in VictoriaLogs

  1. Retrieve the VLAgent LoadBalancer IP and configure it on the UFM appliance:

    Run on K8s control plane
    kubectl get svc -n telemetry | grep -E "(vlagent|victoria-logs)"
    

    VLAgent Service

  2. Retrieve the external IP and port of the vlselect service:

    Run on K8s control plane
    kubectl get svc -n telemetry | grep vlselect
    

    vlselect Service

  3. Access the VictoriaLogs UI in a web browser:

    https://<external vlselect loadbalancer IP>:9471/select/0/vmui
