The [NGINX Ingress](../clusters/index.md#installing-applications) that is deployed by GitLab to clusters, is automatically annotated for monitoring providing key response metrics: latency, throughput, and error rates. The [NGINX Ingress](../clusters/index.md#installing-applications) that is deployed by GitLab to clusters, is automatically annotated for monitoring providing key response metrics: latency, throughput, and error rates.
##### Example of Kubernetes service annotations and labels
As an example, to activate Prometheus monitoring of a service:
1. Add at least this annotation: `prometheus.io/scrape: 'true'`.
1. Add two labels so GitLab can retrieve metrics dynamically for any environment:
- `application: ${CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG}`
- `release: ${CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG}`
1. Create a dynamic PromQL query. For example, a query like
`temperature{application="{{ci_environment_slug}}",release="{{ci_environment_slug}}"}` to either:
- Add [custom metrics](../../../operations/metrics/index.md#adding-custom-metrics).
- Add [custom dashboards](../../../operations/metrics/dashboards/index.md).
The following is a service definition to accomplish this:
```yaml
---
# Service
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: service-${CI_PROJECT_NAME}-${CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG}
# === Prometheus annotations ===
annotations:
prometheus.io/scrape: 'true'
labels:
application: ${CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG}
release: ${CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG}
# === End of Prometheus ===
spec:
selector:
app: ${CI_PROJECT_NAME}
ports:
- port: ${EXPOSED_PORT}
targetPort: ${CONTAINER_PORT}
```
