The Kubernetes scheduler is a control plane process that assigns Pods to the nodes. The scheduler determines which nodes are valid placements for each Pod in the scheduling queue according to the constraints and available resources. The scheduler then ranks each valid node and binds the Pod to a suitable node. Multiple different schedulers may be used within a cluster. By default, the kube-scheduler runs on port secure 10259 (older version runs on unsecure port 10251) and exposes the metrics of /metrics in openMetric format. The Agent hits the endpoint with the kubernetes client and fetches the metrics automatically. Therefore, no extra configuration or detection logic is required.

Note
If the Kubernetes Scheduler template does not work, check if the scheduler service is running on all interfaces or only on the loopback interface. If it is running on the loopback interface, change it to bind to all interfaces by editing the/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml file on the master node and ensure that the –bind-address parameter is set to 0.0.0.0.
