How to get higher rates for Nginx ingress controller or http requests for apps

[Brandon Yang]

Hi Team, I am new to prometheus. I have installed prometheus into my eks cluster, using helm chart https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts. I have updated my values to set serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues=false and podMonitor to false.

I have installed nginx ingress controller for when deploying my app. Issue I am having is when I query rate(nginx_ingress_controller_requests[1h]) the results is 0. Is there a way to get higher rates, please advise

In Prometheus target view:

http://[ip address]:10254/metrics UP

Endpoint State Labels Last Scrape Scrape Duration Error

container="controller"endpoint="metrics"instance="[ip address]:10254"job="ingress-nginx-controller-metrics"namespace="ingress-nginx"pod="ingress-nginx-controller-569b78f477-8p59l"service="ingress-nginx-controller-metrics"

2.199s 27.612ms

I do not have any unhealthy targets

Scrape interval is set to every 30 seconds I believe
