Heapster does not work any more out of the box

[saschagrunert]

If I am running 1.6.2 the logs give me the output:

[restful] 2017/07/25 15:49:13 log.go:26: No metric client provided. Skipping metrics.
[restful] 2017/07/25 15:49:13 log.go:26: No metric client provided. Skipping metrics.

And no metrics will be shown on the dashboard pages. I am using K8S 1.7.1 with the following heapster image config:

gcr.io/google_containers/heapster-grafana-amd64:v4.4.1
gcr.io/google_containers/heapster-amd64:v1.4.0
gcr.io/google_containers/heapster-influxdb-amd64:v1.1.1

Is there any configuration missing within the yml file here?

Something had to change on either kubernetes or heapster side because we haven't touched it for quite some time and it just stopped working. The actual reason is listed on backend start: Could not enable metric client: Health check failed: the server could not find the requested resource (get services heapster). Continuing.. We'll investigate that and fix ASAP. Probably roll out new release because this functionality is very important.

As a workaround for now you can pass heapster-host argument to dashboard container in the yaml file. Direct connection still works. There are only problems with using in-cluster configuration.

Take a look at #2181. You can use these changes to make it work for now. It will be pretty much the same as in-cluster config.
