This topic describes how to install the metrics-server component. In this case, you do not need to upgrade your Kubernetes cluster.

Prerequisites

To install the metrics-server component, perform the following steps: change the metric collector, switch the monitoring link, and update component settings.

Change the metric collector

Create a metrics-server.yaml file and copy the following content to the file. In the command-line interface (CLI), enter kubectl apply -f metrics-server.yaml to change the metric collector from Heapster to metrics-server.

        command:
        - /metrics-server
        - '--source=kubernetes:https://kubernetes.default'
        - '--sink=socket:tcp://monitor.csk. ##REGION##.aliyuncs.com:8093? clusterId=##CLUSTER_ID##
&public=true'
Note Replace ##REGION## and ##CLUSTER_ID## respectively with the region (such as cn-hangzhou) and ID of the selected cluster.

Switch the monitoring link

  1. Log on to the ACK console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane of the ACK console, click Clusters.
  3. On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click the name of the cluster or click Details in the Actions column. The details page of the cluster appears.
  4. Find the master nodes in the cluster. Click the ID of a master node to go to the Instance Details page.
  5. In the Basic Information section, click Connect.

    The Enter VNC Password dialog box appears. Enter the VNC password and click OK. After you log on to the instance, run the following command:

    sed -i 's/--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients=false/--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-use-rest-clients=true/' /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml                            
    Switch the monitoring link 2
  6. Repeat the preceding steps to switch the monitoring link for the other master nodes.

After the command is executed, the kubelet updates the controller manager.

Update component settings

  1. Log on to the ACK console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane of the ACK console, click Clusters.
  3. On the Clusters page, find the cluster that you want to manage and click the name of the cluster or click Details in the Actions column. The details page of the cluster appears.
  4. In the left-side navigation pane of the details page, choose Network > Services.
  5. Select the kube-system namespace. Find the heapster service and click View in YAML in the Actions column of the service.
  6. In the dialog box that appears, set the value of the k8s-app field to metrics-server. Click Update.
    Update component settings 2
  7. In the left-side navigation pane of the details page, choose Workloads > Deployments.
  8. On the Deployments tab, select the kube-system namespace.
  9. Select Heapster-related components such as heapster and monitoring-influxdb. In the Actions column, choose More > Delete.
  10. In the dialog box that appears, click OK.
    Note To delete the monitoring-influxdb component, in the Delete monitoring-influxdb dialog box, select Delete the associated monitoring-influxdb service and click OK.
  11. Check the link status.
    It requires about three minutes to initialize the link.
    In the left-side navigation pane, choose Workload > Pods. On the Pods page, if the CPU and memory usage are normal, it indicates that the link is switched.
    Note If the CPU and memory usage of all components are zero, it indicates that an error has occurred.
