# monitoring — backup CronJobs
Manifests recording the cluster-side monitoring backup CronJobs that were previously applied out-of-band. These files are the authoritative source (`kubectl apply -f apps/monitoring/` ). See [DEV-464 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-464 ) for the repair context.
2026-08-16 15:39:06 +00:00
- `backup-k8s-resources-cronjob.yaml` — daily dump of cluster-scoped and per-namespace Kubernetes resources, streamed through `restic backup --stdin` to `hetzner-s3:${BUCKET}/restic/k8s-resources` . Uses `serviceAccountName: backup-sa` and no PVC mount (init container `alpine/k8s:1.29.4` writes an emptyDir, main container `restic/restic:0.17.3` reads it on stdin). Rewritten from the local-path tarball per the [DEV-482 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-482 ) Option 4 rollout ([DEV-487 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-487 )).
feat(monitoring): retire legacy backup-volumes CronJob + backup-storage PVC (DEV-489)
The restic pipeline (loki/grafana/k8s-resources) is proven end-to-end
after the DEV-488 restore drill, so the legacy rsync/tar pipeline into
the 100 Gi local-path `backup-storage` PVC is removed.
- Delete `apps/monitoring/backup-volumes-cronjob.yaml`.
- Remove the DEV-483 bridge `nodeSelector: k3s-worker-2` from
`apps/monitoring/loki-deployment.yaml`. Loki's data protection now
runs via `backup-loki-restic`, which follows the pod via podAffinity
regardless of which node the RWO CSI volume attaches on. The
`Recreate` rollout strategy stays — it is unrelated (avoids the
attach-deadlock during a rollout). Resolves the RWO/nodeSelector
attach race that was blocking DEV-478 weekly OS updates.
- Update `apps/monitoring/README.md` to drop the `backup-volumes`
section, link the restic restore runbook, and record the pin
removal.
- Clean stale coexistence comments in the restic/prometheus CronJob
manifests now that the legacy job is gone.
Cluster-side (already applied out-of-band, since these manifests are
`kubectl apply`-based, not Argo-managed):
- `kubectl -n monitoring delete cronjob backup-volumes` -> NotFound.
- `kubectl -n monitoring delete pvc backup-storage` -> gone; local-path
PV `pvc-d0db0ba9-8f89-4f66-9e65-d573ebe1085a` reclaimed automatically
(Delete policy). Two stale pre-DEV-487 `backup-k8s-resources` job
pods that still referenced the PVC were deleted to release the
`pvc-protection` finalizer.
- `kubectl -n monitoring apply -f loki-deployment.yaml` -> Recreate
rollout, new pod Ready in ~60s, no nodeSelector on the new spec.
- No `VolumeAttachment` for the retired PV.
- Restic CronJobs (`backup-loki-restic`, `backup-grafana-restic`,
`backup-k8s-resources`, `prometheus-backup`) intact.
Pre-delete snapshots retained on k3s-cp-1 under
`/root/dev489-snapshots-20260816T155411Z/` for post-mortem.

- `backup-loki-restic-cronjob.yaml` — daily restic backup of `loki-storage-encrypted` to `hetzner-s3:${BUCKET}/restic/loki` . Co-schedules with the Loki pod via `podAffinity` (RWO permits additional read-only mounts on the same node). Deployed per the [DEV-482 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-482 ) Option 4 rollout ([DEV-485 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-485 )).
- `backup-grafana-restic-cronjob.yaml` — daily restic backup of `grafana-storage` to `hetzner-s3:${BUCKET}/restic/grafana` . Pinned to `k3s-worker-2` via `nodeSelector` (the local-path PV anchors the grafana pod there already, no `podAffinity` needed). Schedule `15 3 * * *` — offset from the loki run at `03:00` . Deployed per the [DEV-482 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-482 ) Option 4 rollout ([DEV-486 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-486 )).
feat(observability): wire node-exporter textfile collector for backup metrics (DEV-494)

- apps/observability/patches/node-exporter-textfile-collector.yaml:
strategic-merge patch on the kube-prometheus-stack node-exporter DS
that adds `--collector.textfile.directory=/host/textfile_collector`
and mounts `/var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector` read-only.
Chart isn't tracked in ArgoCD, so we keep the patch under version
control and re-apply after any helm upgrade (see patches/README.md).
- apps/monitoring/backup-{loki,grafana,k8s-resources,prometheus}-*-cronjob.yaml:
swap `emptyDir` /metrics for a `hostPath` on the same directory
(`DirectoryOrCreate`). Write via `.prom.tmp` + `mv` so node-exporter
never reads a truncated sample.
- apps/monitoring/backup-restic-alerts.yaml: `time() - max(...) > 28h`
for all four freshness alerts so a stale `.prom` left on a node the
job has since left does not fire the freshness pager.
- apps/monitoring/README.md: drop the "once wired" caveat; document
the on-node directory, atomic write, cross-node staleness rationale.
Verified end-to-end with a synthetic `kubectl create job
--from=cronjob/backup-k8s-resources`: pod ran on k3s-worker-4,
.prom file materialized in /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector,
and Prometheus returned all four metric families
(`backup_k8s_resources_success=1`, `..._timestamp_seconds`,
`..._check_status=0`, `restic_repo_size_bytes{repo="k8s-resources"}=13692516`).
`time() - max(backup_k8s_resources_timestamp_seconds)` returned ~84s
against a fresh run. `promtool check rules` + `promtool test rules`
still pass (9 rules, 5 scenarios).

- `prometheus-backup-cronjob.yaml` + `prometheus-backup-sealed.yaml` — daily restic backup of `prometheus-data-encrypted` to `hetzner-s3:${BUCKET}/restic/prometheus` . Co-schedules with the Prometheus pod via `podAffinity` so the RWO PVC attaches on the same node. Schedule `30 3 * * *` — offset from the loki (03:00) and grafana (03:15) runs. Migrated from the DEV-465 `rclone sync` job to restic client-side encryption per [DEV-492 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-492 ) / [DEV-482 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-482 ) Option 4. **Compaction-race mitigation:** `--exclude wal/*` + `--exclude chunks_head/*` + accept `restic backup` exit code 3 (source file vanished mid-walk) as a warning, not a failure; restore drill re-runs `promtool tsdb analyze` per block.
- `backup-restic-alerts.yaml` + `backup-restic-alerts.test.yaml` — `PrometheusRule` with freshness, integrity, and repo-size alerts covering the four restic repos (loki/grafana/k8s-resources/prometheus), plus a `promtool test rules` unit test proving each alert fires against synthetic samples ([DEV-490 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-490 ), extended in [DEV-492 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-492 )).

The kube-prometheus-stack node-exporter DaemonSet has `--collector.textfile.directory=/host/textfile_collector` enabled ([DEV-494 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-494 ), applied via [`apps/observability/patches/node-exporter-textfile-collector.yaml` ](../observability/patches/node-exporter-textfile-collector.yaml )) and surfaces those samples in Prometheus.

| Metric | Emitted by |

| `backup_<kind>_success` (0/1) | `backup-{loki,grafana,k8s-resources}-*-cronjob.yaml` , `prometheus-backup-cronjob.yaml` |
| `backup_<kind>_timestamp_seconds` | same |
| `backup_<kind>_check_status` (exit code) | same — from `restic check --read-data-subset=5%` |
| `backup_prometheus_backup_status` | `prometheus-backup-cronjob.yaml` — `restic backup` exit code (3 = accepted compaction race) |
| `restic_repo_size_bytes{repo="<kind>"}` | same — from `restic stats --json --mode raw-data` (added in DEV-490) |
**Cross-node staleness note.** Because a backup CronJob may run on a different worker across days (loki/prometheus follow their app pods, `k8s-resources` is unpinned), a `.prom` file can linger on a node the job has since left and node-exporter keeps exposing it. The freshness alerts collapse the per-node samples with `max()` so the freshest sample wins; check/size alerts fire when *any* node reports a bad value, which is intentional — a recent failure is still a signal until the file is manually cleaned or the job returns to that node.

The legacy `backup-volumes` CronJob and its 100 Gi local-path `backup-storage` PVC were retired in [DEV-489 ](/DEV/issues/DEV-489 ) once the restic pipeline was proven end-to-end. With the shared destination PVC gone, the DEV-483 bridge `nodeSelector` pinning Loki to `k3s-worker-2` was also removed — `backup-loki-restic` follows the Loki pod via `podAffinity` regardless of which node the RWO CSI volume lands on. `backup-grafana-restic` still nodeSelects `k3s-worker-2` because its source PV (`grafana-storage` , local-path) is anchored there. `backup-k8s-resources` has no PVC dep and stays unpinned. `prometheus-backup` uses `podAffinity` on `app=prometheus` (RWO PVC on Hetzner CSI, single-node attach) and follows the Prometheus pod between workers.
