Prometheus-operator: Update helm chart to include all features of contrib/kube-prometheus for cluster monitoring

[ryanwalls]

There is a helm chart that @mgoodness started in the helm directory. Ideally, it would have all the features of the contrib/kube-prometheus scripts. i.e. It would be great to have a single helm chart that installed a full cluster monitoring solution.

From what I can tell, the chart currently only installs the prometheus operator.

This would help with issues like #363 where people want to run prometheus operator on something other than k8s 1.6 as we could have versioned helm charts that correlate to k8s versions.

277 will provide this, along with a few other stand-alone charts I'm working on now. I promise it won't be much longer

Yeah @mgoodness is already working on this, so if he needs any help then I'll let him coordinate.

@mgoodness let the community know if/how they can help, the more people working on it the better :wink:

Since #277 was merged does this mean this issue is "resolved"?

One thing I noticed when looking through the helm charts (currently using the kube-prometheus scripts and want to switch to helm since everything else we do is through helm charts) I noticed that the kube-prometheus chart does not have prometheus-operator as a requirement.

Does that mean I would want to install both of them separately to get the same result as the deploy script from contrib/kube-prometheus?

[mgoodness]

Yes, you need to install the prometheus-operator chart first. That's the only way to guarantee that the ThirdPartyResources types exist before the kube-prometheus chart instantiates them.

We'll continue to refine the charts, but you're right that this issue can be closed.
