How to recreate Grafana kNative dashboards in Google Cloud

I'm using the kNative Observability plugin which installs Prometheus and Grafana on my Google Kubernetes Engine cluster.

There are two issues:

  1. In the newest versions on kNative, the plugin is deprecated
  2. I see that the plugin saves logs within the Prometheus pod (my best guess) and sometimes it crashes under high load.

Is there a way to recreate the Grafana dashboards in Google Cloud Monitoring? Maybe a better question is, would there be a way to get the kNative logs logged by Prometheus into Google Cloud's environment?

You can get the Prometheus metrics exported to Cloud Monitoring using the sidecar built for that purpose.

Logs are going to be harder - you need to figure out a way to reconfigure the plugin to send logs to stdout and/or stderr to get the cluster logging agent to pick them up and ingest them into Cloud Logging. Another option would be to build a sidecar container explicitly for that purpose.
