Prometheus Exporter

Since Kubescape runs as an in-cluster component as part of a helm install, you can use Prometheus Exporter to scan clusters and scrape the scan results.

Install Prometheus and Kubescape

Prepare your environment to run Prometheus and Kubescape, and then install Kubescape using Helm commands.

Install kube-prometheus-stack.

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace prometheus
helm install -n prometheus kube-prometheus-stack prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack --set prometheus.prometheusSpec.podMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false,prometheus.prometheusSpec.serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false

If you haven't added the ARMO helm repository, add it now.
```
helm repo add armo https://kubescape.github.io/helm-charts/
```
Update your repository.
```
helm repo update
```

Install the Kubescape helm chart and create a Prometheus service monitor.
Replace the <ARMOPlatfromaccountID with your ARMO Platform account ID.

helm upgrade --install kubescape kubescape/kubescape-cloud-operator -n kubescape --create-namespace --set 
clusterName=`kubectl config current-context` --set kubescape.serviceMonitor.enabled=true --set account=<ARMOPlatformaccountID>

Grafana dashboard

If you use Prometheus with Grafana, you can add a kubescape dashboard to Grafana and view the scan results there.

Available metrics
