Kube-state-metrics error: Failed to create client: ... i/o timeout

5/14/2019

I'm running Kubernetes in virtual machines and going through the basic tutorials, currently Add logging and metrics to the PHP / Redis Guestbook example. I'm trying to install kube-state-metrics:

git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics.git kube-state-metrics
kubectl create -f kube-state-metrics/kubernetes

but it fails.

kubectl describe pod --namespace kube-system kube-state-metrics-7d84474f4d-d5dg7

...
Warning Unhealthy 28m (x8 over 30m) kubelet, kubernetes-node1 Readiness probe failed: Get http://192.168.129.102:8080/healthz: dial tcp 192.168.129.102:8080: connect: connection refused

I'm unsure if this 10.96.0.1 IP is correct. My virtual machines are in a bridged network 10.10.10.0/24 and a host-only network 192.168.59.0/24. When initializing Kubernetes I used the argument --pod-network-cidr=192.168.0.0/16 so that's one more IP range that I'd expect. But 10.96.0.1 looks unfamiliar.

I'm new to Kubernetes, just doing the basic tutorials, so I don't know what to do now. How to fix it or investigate further?

EDIT - additonal info:

kubectl get nodes -o wide

The command I used to initialize the cluster:

sudo kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=192.168.59.20 --pod-network-cidr=192.168.0.0/16

The reason for this is probably overlapping of Pod network with Node network - you set Pod network CIDR to 192.168.0.0/16 which your host-only network will be included into as its address is 192.168.59.0/24.

To solve this you can either change the pod network CIDR to 192.168.0.0/24 (it is not recommended as this will give you only 255 addresses for your pod networking)

You can also use different range for your Calico. If you want to do it on a running cluster here is an instruction.

Also other way I tried:

edit Calico manifest to different range (for example 10.0.0.0/8) - sudo kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=192.168.59.20 --pod-network-cidr=10.0.0.0/8) and apply it after the init.

Another way would be using different CNI like Flannel (which uses 10.244.0.0/16).

You can find more information about ranges of CNI plugins here.
