Kubernetes HPA -- 无法获取资源内存指标：没有从资源指标 API 返回指标

Question

Good afternoon

I'm just starting with Kubernetes, and I'm working with HPA (HorizontalPodAutoscaler):

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: find-complementary-account-info-1
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: find-complementary-account-info-1
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 5
  metrics:
  - type: Resource
    resource:
      name: memory
      target:
        type: AverageValue
        averageUtilization: 50

But when I try to see the metrics on the console, it doesn't show me:

    [dockermd@tmp108 APP-MM-ConsultaCuentaPagadoraPospago]$ kubectl get hpa
    NAME                                REFERENCE                                      TARGETS         MINPODS   MAXPODS   REPLICAS   AGE

My manifiest is:

Show me the tag

Also if I perform a kubect describe hpa, it throws me the following:

I am not working in the cloud, I am working in an on-premise environment configured with Bare-Metal

Also install metrics-server:

[dockermd@tmp108 APP-MM-ConsultaCuentaPagadoraPospago]$ kubectl get deployment metrics-server -n kube-system
NAME             READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
metrics-server   1/1     1            1           177m

What will I lack? Could someone give me a hand?

Answer 1

The error unable to get metrics for resource memory: no metrics returned from resource metrics API is not caused by faulty HPA but by metrics-server that is not able to scrape any metrics.

Most of the time this error is caused by missing commands in metrics-server deployment . It can be done by adding following arguments in the deployment.

  --kubelet-insecure-tls
  --kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP,ExternalIP

Answer 2

Since you are using apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta2 , the correct way to specify scaling policy based on resources would be,

type: Resource
resource:
  name: cpu
  target:
    type: Utilization
    averageUtilization: 60

You can also specify resource metrics in terms of direct values, instead of as percentages of the requested value, by using a target.type of AverageValue instead of Utilization, and setting the corresponding target.averageValue field instead of the target.averageUtilization

And if you want to try out with v2beta1 , you can try the below piece of yml in metrics,

 type: Resource
 resource:
    name: memory
    targetAverageUtilization: 60

Answer 3

The problem is at:

target: type: AverageValue averageUtilization: 50

You specified the type "AverageValue" but with "averageUtilization". You should either change type: to "Utilization" or value field with "averageValue".
