Description Rick Rackow 2020-07-15 14:26:52 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1846707 +++

Description of problem:
On OSD we create a ResourceQuota [1] for logging that is at 100% of what we allow allocating for logging PVCs.  The KubeQuotaExceeded alert fires if quota is at or above 90% allocated.  This means the alert is always firing.  The name of the alert implies quota is exceeded and we are getting concerned queries from customers regarding this alert firing in the cluster.  We don't think allocating less than 90% of the quota is the right answer and request the expr for this alert be adjusted.

We are tracking a workaround for our alerting [2] that will fire if quota is actually exceeded.  The expr would become:

kube_resourcequota{job="kube-state-metrics",namespace="(openshift-.*|kube-.*|default|logging)",type="used"} / ignoring(instance, job, type) (kube_resourcequota{job="kube-state-metrics",namespace="(openshift-.*|kube-.*|default|logging)",type="hard"} > 0) > 1 





Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.18


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create quota in an "openshift" namespace
2. Allocate 100% of quota in that namespace
3.

Actual results:
KubeQuotaExceeded fires.


Expected results:
KubeQuotaExceeded does not fire.

Additional info:
Expect KubeQuotaExceeded to fire only if storage quota allocated is above 100% (actually exceeded).
