kubernetes metrics server don't start

10/18/2018

I try to connect in the dashboard of kubernetes.

I have the latest version of kubernetes v1.12 with kubeadm , in a server.

I download from github the metrics-server and run:

Kubctl create -f deploy/1.8+

but i get this error

kube-system metrics-server-5cbbc84f8c-tjfxd 0/1 Pending 0 12m

with out log to debug

error: the server doesn't have a resource type "logs"

I don't want to install heapster because is DEPRECATED.

UPDATE

Hello, and thanks.

i run the taint command i get:

error: at least one taint update is required

and the command

kubectl describe deployment metrics-server -n kube-system

i get this output:

Command:

kubectl get nodes

The output for this is just the IP of the node, and nothing special.

Any ideas, or what to do to work the dashboard for kubernetes.

I suppose you are trying setup metrics-server on your master node.

If you issue kubectl describe deployment metrics-server -n kube-system I believe you will see something like this:

Name: metrics-server Namespace:
kube-system CreationTimestamp: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 15:57:34 +0000 Labels: k8s-app=metrics-server Annotations:
deployment.kubernetes.io/revision: 1 Selector:
k8s-app=metrics-server Replicas: 1 desired | 1 updated | 1 total | 0 available | 1 unavailable

But if you will describe your node you will see taint that prevent you from scheduling new pods on master node:

kubectl get nodes

NAME            STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
kube-master-1   Ready    master   17m   v1.12.1

kubectl describe node kube-master-1

Name:               kube-master-1
...
Taints:             node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule

You have to remove this taint:

kubectl taint node kube-master-1 node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule-
node/kube-master-1 untainted

Result:

 kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

NAMESPACE     NAME                                    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
kube-system   calico-node-xvc77                       2/2     Running   0          20m
kube-system   coredns-576cbf47c7-rj4wh                1/1     Running   0          21m
kube-system   coredns-576cbf47c7-vsjsf                1/1     Running   0          21m
kube-system   etcd-kube-master-1                      1/1     Running   0          20m
kube-system   kube-apiserver-kube-master-1            1/1     Running   0          20m
kube-system   kube-controller-manager-kube-master-1   1/1     Running   0          20m
kube-system   kube-proxy-xp5zh                        1/1     Running   0          21m
kube-system   kube-scheduler-kube-master-1            1/1     Running   0          20m
kube-system   metrics-server-5cbbc84f8c-l2t76         1/1     Running   0          18m

But this is not the best approach. Good approach is to join worker and set up metrics-server there. There won't be any issues and there is no need to touch taint on master node.

Hope it will help you.
