kubernetes autoscale having issues with heapster

11/19/2018

I have heapster installed on kubernetes, i am trying to autoscale my pods.. but i keep seeing the following:

unable to get metrics for resource cpu: unable to fetch metrics from resource metrics API: the server could not find the requested resource (get pods.metrics.k8s.io)

The heapster service itself

I want to have autoscaling working with kubernetes, anyone have any ideas?

I know heapster is deprecated, but as of now i cannot chnage or upgrade to metrics server.. so could do with some help

I have once seen similar error. The problem was RBAC issue but the error log was misleading. Make sure you have provided get permission for pods.metrics.k8s.io resource.

Check this similar question: Kubernetes Custom CRD: “Failed to list …: the server could not find the requested resource”

Note: Fetching metrics from Heapster is deprecated as of Kubernetes 1.11. Ref: Horizontal Pod Autoscaler
