Question

Empty custom metrics resource list with Prometheus adapter

7/6/2021

I have a minikube installation on my windows machine. My application exposes a custom metric 'http_requests_total'. I installed Prometheus operator first and configured it scrape the custom metrics. I can see the custom metric appear in Prometheus dashboard.

Trouble arises when I install Prometheus Adapter. I use following helm command to install the adapter:

helm install my-release prometheus-community/prometheus-adapter

Then I run following command to edit the configmap and add rule for my custom metric:

kubectl edit cm my-release-prometheus-adapter

I add following section in this configmap:

- seriesQuery: 'http_requests_total{kubernetes_namespace!="",kubernetes_pod_name!=""}'
      resources:
        overrides:
          kubernetes_namespace: {resource: "namespace"}
          kubernetes_pod_name: {resource: "pod"}
      name:
        matches: "^(.*)_total"
        as: "${1}_per_second"
      metricsQuery: sum(rate(<<.Series>>{<<.LabelMatchers>>}[2m])) by (<<.GroupBy>>)

Having done this, when I execute the following command:

kubectl get --raw /apis/custom.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1

I do not see my custom resource being read:

{"kind":"APIResourceList","apiVersion":"v1","groupVersion":"custom.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1","resources":[]}

I have read multiple similar questions posted on stackoverflow but none seems to have the working answer. I tried to change the prometheus url for my adapter but didn't succeed with that. What am I missing? Following is the log from the adapter pod:

Following are the arguments in the deployment for the adapter:

In the beginning of logs for the adapter pod, I see following line of error:

The prometheus-adapter is not able to connect to your prometheus instance, this line in the log indicates as much:

E0706 22:41:15.274396       1 provider.go:227] unable to update list of all metrics: unable to fetch metrics for query "{namespace!=\"\",__name__!~\"^container_.*\"}": Get "http://prometheus-kube-prometheus-prometheus.prom.svc.cluster.local:9090/api/v1/series?match%5B%5D=%7Bnamespace%21%3D%22%22%2C__name__%21~%22%5Econtainer_.%2A%22%7D&start=1625611215.271": dial tcp: lookup prometheus-kube-prometheus-prometheus.prom.svc.cluster.local on 10.96.0.10:53: no such host

Although you have a service called prometheus-kube-prometheus-prometheus, the url is expecting that service to live in the prom namespace. You should edit the prometheus url (in the same way you added the series query) to have the proper url. If this service is in the default namespace you can specify prometheus-kube-prometheus-prometheus.svc.cluster.local otherwise it would be prometheus-kube-prometheus-prometheus.<NAMESPACE>.svc.cluster.local
