possible to set up kubernetes monitoring in a different namespace

Question

Is it possoble to have an ELK stack setup, in a "monitoring" namespace in kubernetes, that has read permission accross all the other namespaces so that i can still monitor all the pods.

Im just wondering if that would just make it a little easier to manage?, especially when it comes to accessing other namespaces, where we have resrtictions.

I know prometheous allows this, but has anyone tried with a ELK stack.

Answer 1

Yes it can be done. Following is the step by step guide to setup EFK stack on kubernetes in logging namespace.

I am sure we can do the same for log-stash also.
