Version 2 is no longer supported. This section is for historical reference only.

Overview

This input type collects and sends pod metrics, such as CPU and memory usage, to a configured streaming destination, as well as to the Edge Delta backend.

To use this input, you must enable the Kubernetes metrics API on the cluster. To configure this API, you must install metrics-server. To learn more, review this document from Kubernetes.

The Kubernetes pod metric collection requires an agent leader election mechanism to be enabled because only 1 agent collects metrics from the cluster. This mechanism is already enabled in the default agent deployment command via ED_LEADER_ELECTION_ENABLED=1.
