<p>I'm testing the bluemix container service. Since IBM provides a grafana/graphite for my account to collect cpu/mem stats on all of my containers, i naturally want to add my own statistics.</p>

<p>Is it possible to report custom stats form the kubernetes cluster or from inside my containers to the ibm graphite?</p>

<p>according to the documentation you can/have-to use the coreOS prometheus-operator to provide a prometheus in your cluster and then add a prometheus datasource to grafana.</p>

<p>afaik you can not add the prometheus datasource to the metric.ng.bluemix.net grafana</p>

<p>WARNING: the current version of the linked coreOS repository is for kubernetes 1.6 (bluemix runs 1.5). You have to get an old version of the scripts used by coreOS</p>
