Summary

  • Enable the ServiceMonitor resource that was scaffolded but never activated, so the in-cluster Prometheus stack can discover and scrape the operator's /metrics endpoint.
  • Use user workload monitoring instead of platform cluster monitoring. Unlike the External DNS Operator approach which labels the namespace with openshift.io/cluster-monitoring=true to route metrics through the platform Prometheus, ALBO relies on the user workload monitoring stack.
  • The user workload Prometheus enforces arbitraryFSAccessThroughSMs: deny, which prohibits filesystem path references in ServiceMonitors (both bearerTokenFile and tlsConfig.caFile). To comply, a metrics-scraper ServiceAccount with a bound token Secret and a ClusterRoleBinding to the metrics-reader ClusterRole is added. The ServiceMonitor references this Secret via authorization.credentials.

Prerequisite: user workload monitoring must be enabled on the cluster (enableUserWorkload: true in oc -n openshift-monitoring get configmap cluster-monitoring-config).

Follow-up to #313 as discussed in #313 (review).

Scraping flow

  • User workload Prometheus stack establishes a TLS connection with ALBO metrics server (ALBO sends metrics service's serving TLS certificate which Prometheus verifies using CA bundle configmap from ServiceMonitor)
  • User workload Prometheus stack sends a scrape request against /metrics endpoint of ALBO metrics service (request contains token from ServiceMonitor)
  • ALBO controller-runtime's FilterProvider verifies the token is a valid one (TokenReview)
  • ALBO controller-runtime's FilterProvider checks that the SA associated to the token has rights to scrape (SubjectAccessReview, aws-load-balancer-operator-metrics-reader clusterrole must be granted to the SA)
  • ALBO controller-runtime's metrics server responds with datapoints

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The operator now serves metrics with an OpenShift serving certificate Secret. The controller manager mounts the certificate directory and passes it to the metrics server. Dedicated scraper service accounts, token Secrets, and ClusterRoleBindings are added. The ServiceMonitor uses the scraper token Secret and OpenShift CA bundle. Prometheus configuration is enabled.

OLM ClusterServiceVersion AllNamespaces install mode installation namespace bundle manifests namespace substitution behavior

💡 Result:

In the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), the AllNamespaces install mode indicates that an Operator is designed to be cluster-scoped, allowing it to watch and manage resources across all namespaces in a cluster [1][2][3]. Regarding bundle manifests and namespace substitution: 1. Namespace-Aware Manifests: When an Operator is designed to support AllNamespaces mode, its deployment manifests—such as those defining Deployments, Roles, or RoleBindings—often need to handle the Operator's namespace dynamically [4]. Since the Operator may be installed in any namespace chosen by a cluster administrator, hardcoding the installation namespace in manifest files is often problematic [4]. 2. Substitution Behavior: OLM does not automatically perform a generic string-replacement substitution on arbitrary fields within your bundle manifests. Instead, Operator authors frequently implement this behavior themselves within their build or CI/CD pipelines [4][5]. Common practices include: - Using placeholders (e.g., {{.Namespace}} or similar patterns) in YAML manifests [4]. - Utilizing environment variables (like OPERATOR_NAMESPACE) inside the operator pod to dynamically discover the namespace in which it is running [4]. - Using build tools to inject the actual target namespace into these manifests during the bundle creation process [4]. 3. RBAC Generation: When an Operator supports AllNamespaces mode and is installed via an OperatorGroup that targets all namespaces, OLM manages the necessary permissions by generating cluster-wide RBAC resources (ClusterRoles and ClusterRoleBindings) rather than namespace-scoped ones [6]. This ensures the Operator has the required access across the cluster to perform its functions [6]. To successfully deploy an operator in AllNamespaces mode, you must explicitly set supported: true for the AllNamespaces type in the installModes section of your ClusterServiceVersion (CSV) [7][8][9]. When installing, you must also create an OperatorGroup that targets all namespaces (typically by setting spec.targetNamespaces to an empty list or omitting it for a global OperatorGroup) [2][10][11]. If the CSV and OperatorGroup configurations do not align, the CSV will transition to a failed state (e.g., UnsupportedOperatorGroup) [2][12].

Operator Lifecycle Manager bundle manifests additional resources installed directly ClusterServiceVersion bundle manifests

💡 Result:

In the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), an Operator bundle is a container image that packages the manifests required to install an operator [1][2]. The bundle typically contains a ClusterServiceVersion (CSV), CustomResourceDefinitions (CRDs), and additional Kubernetes resources [1][2][3]. You can include additional Kubernetes objects alongside the CSV in the bundle's /manifests directory [2][3]. These manifests are installed directly by OLM when the bundle is deployed [2][3]. Supported resources that can be included in the bundle manifests include: - Secret - ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding - ConfigMap - ServiceAccount - Service - Role and RoleBinding - PrometheusRule - ServiceMonitor - PodDisruptionBudget - PriorityClass - VerticalPodAutoscaler - ConsoleYAMLSample, ConsoleQuickStart, ConsoleCLIDownload, and ConsoleLink [3] These resources are processed as part of the bundle installation process [2][3]. It is important to note that some objects (such as PriorityClass) have cluster-wide implications and should be used with caution as they may affect workloads outside of the operator [3]. Alternatively, many operator authors prefer to have the operator itself create or manage these resources during its runtime via the Kubernetes API, rather than bundling them as static manifests [4][5]. This approach often provides the operator with more control over the lifecycle, configuration, and reconciliation of those resources [4][5].

Resolve hard-coded installation namespaces in the bundle.

This CSV supports AllNamespaces, but OLM does not rewrite arbitrary manifest fields. The scraper binding, CRD webhook, and metrics serverName use aws-load-balancer-operator, while namespace-scoped resources use the selected installation namespace. Installations elsewhere can cause metrics 403 responses and webhook failures. Parameterize these references and regenerate the bundle.

@coderabbitai: yes, this is a known limitation, ALBO is made for aws-load-balancer-operator namespace only. We can address this but not in this PR.

@alebedev87, thanks for the clarification.

The hard-coded namespace is valid if ALBO supports only aws-load-balancer-operator.

However, the CSV advertises AllNamespaces. That mode conflicts with this installation constraint. Please either remove unsupported install modes from the CSV or make the bundle namespace-independent.

Learning: ALBO is designed to run only in the `aws-load-balancer-operator` namespace. Hard-coded references to that namespace are intentional. Reviews must verify that the ClusterServiceVersion install modes do not advertise installation modes that permit a different namespace.

@coderabbitai: I agree that the gap exists. However I won't fix it in this PR, we'll have to reserve this for future.

@alebedev87, acknowledged. The finding remains open for this pull request.

Would you like me to create a GitHub follow-up issue to align the CSV install modes with the fixed aws-load-balancer-operator namespace requirement?

Learning: For AWS Load Balancer Operator manifests, preserve intentional references to the `aws-load-balancer-operator` namespace because ALBO is designed to run only there. In ClusterServiceVersion manifests, verify that install modes do not advertise installation in a different namespace.

Comment thread config/rbac/metrics_scraper_service_account.yaml
Enable the `ServiceMonitor` resource and configure it for OpenShift's
user workload monitoring stack.

Service-ca signed TLS for the metrics endpoint:
- Add `service.beta.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name` annotation
  to the metrics Service so OpenShift generates a signed certificate
- Mount the generated secret at `/var/run/secrets/serving-cert` and
  set `CertDir` in the metrics server options
- Add a `cabundle` ConfigMap with the `inject-cabundle` annotation for
  the service signing CA

User workload monitoring compatible authentication:
- Create a `metrics-scraper` ServiceAccount, bound token Secret, and
  ClusterRoleBinding to the existing `metrics-reader` ClusterRole
- Use `authorization.credentials` Secret ref instead of `bearerTokenFile`
- Use `tlsConfig.ca.configMap` ref instead of `tlsConfig.caFile`
