How to enabled cadvisor for kubelet 1.13?
I want to cadvisor monitor containers in a pod. Somebody say you should enabled
kubelet --cadvisor-port=4194but my kubelet version is 1.13 not have the --cadvisor parameter.
It is always enabled, however the UI was removed so it is no longer available. It is recommended that you use tools like Prometheus and Grafana to visualize the metrics data, however you can also deploy cAdvisor independently of the kubelet if you prefer.
However, kubelet version is 1.13 doesn't have the --cadvisor parameter.
Indeed, the ChangeLog-1.12 says that:
The formerly publicly-available cAdvisor web UI that the kubelet started using --cadvisor-port has been entirely removed in 1.12. The recommended way to run cAdvisor if you still need it, is via a DaemonSet #65707
From the latest ChangeLogs you can see that the cAdvisor is still there - it's just the flag to the kubelet that has been deprecated.
Despite its UI has been deprecated it is still possible to monitor your containers via Prometheus.
There is a good "How To" resource about K8s monitoring that explains how to run it via DaemonSet.
Hope that helps.
