Note
This operator is still a work in progress and does not provide API guarantees yet.
The Thanos Operator provides Kubernetes native deployment and management of Thanos components. The purpose of this project is to simplify and automate the configuration of a Thanos based monitoring stack that would work across different topologies and deployment modes.
The Thanos operator includes, but is not limited to, the following features:
-
Kubernetes Custom Resources: For Thanos Receive, Thanos Ruler, Thanos Store Gateway, Thanos Compactor and Thanos Querier. For Thanos Sidecar, please use Prometheus CRD from Prometheus-Operator.
-
Simplified Deployment Configuration: Configure fundamental and advanced topologies wth simplified CRDs that can be composed into architecture of your choice.
-
Extensability with multi-cluster technologies: Shares Thanos' philosophy of operating in multi-cluster environments. Provides extensible configuration so that you can easily manage Thanos installation with other multi-cluster technologies/initiatives like custom operators or Open Cluster Management.
For more details, read how to get started and explore our CRD docs
We publish images from each commit to main and per-release at https://quay.io/thanos/thanos-operator
Thanos Operator binary CLI Options include,
Usage of ./bin/manager:
-enable-http2
If set, HTTP/2 will be enabled for the metrics and webhook servers
-feature-gate.enable-service-monitors
If set, the operator will manage ServiceMonitors for Prometheus Operator (default true)
-health-probe-bind-address string
The address the probe endpoint binds to. (default ":8081")
-kubeconfig string
Paths to a kubeconfig. Only required if out-of-cluster.
-leader-elect
Enable leader election for controller manager. Enabling this will ensure there is only one active controller manager.
-metrics-bind-address string
The address the metric endpoint binds to. (default ":8080")
-metrics-secure
If set the metrics endpoint is served securely
-zap-devel
Development Mode defaults(encoder=consoleEncoder,logLevel=Debug,stackTraceLevel=Warn). Production Mode defaults(encoder=jsonEncoder,logLevel=Info,stackTraceLevel=Error) (default true)
-zap-encoder value
Zap log encoding (one of 'json' or 'console')
-zap-log-level value
Zap Level to configure the verbosity of logging. Can be one of 'debug', 'info', 'error', or any integer value > 0 which corresponds to custom debug levels of increasing verbosity
-zap-stacktrace-level value
Zap Level at and above which stacktraces are captured (one of 'info', 'error', 'panic').
-zap-time-encoding value
Zap time encoding (one of 'epoch', 'millis', 'nano', 'iso8601', 'rfc3339' or 'rfc3339nano'). Defaults to 'epoch'.
CRDs supported by this operator are defined in ./config/crd/bases. Operator deployment manifests are defined in ./config/manager. To edit and build configuration refer to CRD docs.
To install CRDs run,
make install
To deploy operator run,
make deploy IMG="<IMAGE_NAME>"
IMAGE_NAME here is usually example.com/thanos-operator:v0.0.1
for testing/local and quay.io/thanos/thanos-operator:main-YYYY-MM-DD-COMMIT
(can reference latest from quay)
To deploy example manifests, which give you a local MinIO object storage instance and Thanos installation in Receive architecture, run,
make install-example
Requirements to build, and test the project,

The following make
targets are available for testing:
make test
- Runs unit and integration tests.make test-e2e
- Runs e2e tests against a Kubernetes cluster.
When executing integration tests, the following environment variables can be used to skip specific, per-controller tests:
- EXCLUDE_COMPACT=true
- EXCLUDE_QUERY=true
- EXCLUDE_RULER=true
- EXCLUDE_RECEIVE=true
- EXCLUDE_STORE=true
As an example, to run only integration tests for ThanosStore, you can run the following command:
EXCLUDE_COMPACT=true EXCLUDE_QUERY=true EXCLUDE_RULER=true EXCLUDE_RECEIVE=true make test
