I have a deamonset which defines

ports:
- containerPort: 24231

in spec.

After deploying a set I can curl /metrics endpoint on localhost(in container) and can curl the endpoint of one container from another container of the same set.

Then I define a service like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: fluentd
  labels:
    app: fluentd
spec:
  ports:
    - name: prometheus
      port: 80
      targetPort: 24231
  selector:
    app: fluentd

I expect that this will allow me to: kubectl proxy --port=8001

And after following the link: http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/default/services/fluentd:prometheus/proxy/metrics

What I see is this:

Error: 'dial tcp 10.136.4.30:24231: i/o timeout'
Trying to reach: 'http://10.136.4.30:24231/metrics'

But http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/default/services/fluentd returns me service information as expected which includes:

"spec": {
    "ports": [
      {
        "name": "prometheus",
        "protocol": "TCP",
        "port": 80,
        "targetPort": 24231

What am I doing wrong. This service has worked a week ago, but stopped working after redeployment.
