Kube_proxy Integration

Overview

Get metrics from kube_proxy service in real time to:

• Visualize and monitor kube_proxy states
• Be notified about kube_proxy failovers and events.

Configuration

The integration relies on the --metrics-bind-address option of the kube-proxy, by default it's bound to 127.0.0.1:10249. Either start the agent on the host network if the kube-proxy is also on the host network (default) or start the kube-proxy with the --metrics-bind-address=0.0.0.0:10249

Edit the kube_proxy.d/conf.yaml file to point to your server and port, set the masters to monitor

Note: If you edit the namespace & metrics name, or add any other metric they are considered as custom

Contribute to the integration if you want to add a relevant metric.

Validation

Run the Agent's status subcommand and look for kube_proxy under the Checks section.
