Support of kube-state-metrics?

Open remoe opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments




Is it possible to support kube-state-metrics (https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics) ? It should be possible to show metrics without installed metrics-server or heapster ?! I found this:

https://github.com/paulwelch/kubestate

Something similar in k9s would be great ;)

Would be a great addition. The metrics server github page states the following

[!CAUTION] Metrics Server is meant only for autoscaling purposes. For example, don't use it to forward metrics to monitoring solutions, or as a source of monitoring solution metrics. In such cases please collect metrics from Kubelet /metrics/resource endpoint directly.`

To me it looks like metrics server shouldn't be used by k9s. We have removed metrics-server since we do not use HPA
