Has cAdvisor Web UI been deprecated

9/22/2020

There seems be be mixed information and I couldn't find any official source to confirm this.

From the kubernetes changelog, it seems that cAdvisor web UI which has been available via kubelet has been deprecated:

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.

But this Stackoverflow answer indicates that UI itself has been deprecated:

Despite its UI has been deprecated it is still possible to monitor your containers via Prometheus.

From looking at the official documentation, I find no such information.

So my questions is:

  • Has the cAdvisor Web UI itself has been deprecated ? (I'm aware that the interface via kubelet option --cadvisor-port is deprecated. But the option being deprecated is different than if the Web UI itself is deprecated)
  • If it is deprecated, is there any offical source on this ?

It doesn't look like web ui itself is deprecated.

It's only been removed from kubelet, that's all. It means that the web ui won't be a part of a kubelet anymore.

You can still use it if you want by deploying cAdvisor as separate application.
