Collector Type: Agent
Category: Application Monitors
Application Name: K8smetricserver-v2
Global Template Name: Agent G2 - Linux - Kubernetes Metric Server - V2
Introduction
Metrics server aggregates the usage of data over the cluster of a resource.
Metrics server uses summary API exposed by kubelet that runs on each node of cluster to collect metrics.
Parameters
| Names | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| KubernetesMetricServerNamespace | kube-system | Kubernetes Metric Server pod namespace running on the Kubernetes Master. |
Note: By default, it is set to “kube-system”. If you have a different namespace, please replace it.
Validate
Go to Infrastructure > Resources tab to check if your resources are onboarded and the metrics are collected.
