## AI overview

This tutorial explains Kubernetes monitoring mixins: reusable bundles of Grafana dashboards and Prometheus rules and alerts, written in Jsonnet and typically managed with jsonnet-bundler. It defines the concept, discusses its motivation and components, and introduces an example using a Jsonnet file and Docker image.

## Source excerpt

The term Kubernetes monitoring mixins appears in many Kubernetes related projects involving Prometheus and Grafana. Despite its broad usage, the details about it cannot be easily found. There are many cases where mixins are used without notably mentioning them (for example in prometheus-operator). In this article, we are going to explore what it is and also how you can use it in your Kubernetes cluster.
