c. Docker Compose

Two new services — prometheus and grafana — must be added to compose.yaml. Both services share the same private Docker network as the microservices, so Prometheus can reach them by hostname.

  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus:latest
    hostname: prometheus
    ports:
      - 9090:9090
    volumes:
      - $SETUP/prometheus/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana-enterprise
    hostname: grafana
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin
    volumes:
      - $SETUP/grafana:/var/lib/grafana
      - $SETUP/grafana/provisioning/datasources:/etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources

The $SETUP variable points to the directory containing all external configuration files. Define it in the .env file at the root of the project:

SETUP=./setup

The resulting project structure looks like this:
