Prometheus target endpoint IP location

3/12/2020

I have a question, i deployed my Prometheus on k8s cluster and integrated it with istio to push metrics of my application pods. But in the targets page i see some endpoint URLs having ips which are not POD ips or Service ips as below enter image description here

What is that ip and the port?

It's the IP of citadel pod deployed by istio. Citadel is an istio component which enables strong service-to-service and end-user authentication with built-in identity and credential management.You can check the citadel pod deployed in the namespace where you have deployed istio or in the istio-system namespace.
