I'm trying to launch a prometheus pod in order to scrape the etcd metrics from within our kubernetes cluster.
I was trying to reproduce the solution proposed here: Access etcd metrics for Prometheus
Unfortunately, the etcd containers seem to be unavailable from the cluster.
# nc -vz etcd1 2379
nc: getaddrinfo for host "etcd1" port 2379: Name or service not known
In a way, this seems logical since no etcd container appear in the cluster:
kubectl get pods -A | grep -i etcd does not return anything.
However, when I connect onto the machine hosting the master nodes, I can find the containers using the docker ps command.
The cluster has been deployed using Kubespray.
Do you know if there is a way to reach the etcd containers from the cluster pods?
Duh… the etcd container is configured with the host network. Therefore, the metrics endpoint is directly accessible on the node.
