Troubleshoot missing metrics 🔗

The Splunk Collector for Kubernetes is missing metrics starting with k8s.pod.* and k8s.node.* 🔗

After deploying the Splunk Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes Chart version 0.87.0 or higher as either a new install or upgrade the following pod and node metrics are not being collected:

  • k8s.(pod/node).cpu.time

  • k8s.(pod/node).cpu.utilization

  • k8s.(pod/node).filesystem.available

  • k8s.(pod/node).filesystem.capacity

  • k8s.(pod/node).filesystem.usage

  • k8s.(pod/node).memory.available

  • k8s.(pod/node).memory.major_page_faults

  • k8s.(pod/node).memory.page_faults

  • k8s.(pod/node).memory.rss

  • k8s.(pod/node).memory.usage

  • k8s.(pod/node).memory.working_set

  • k8s.(pod/node).network.errors

  • k8s.(pod/node).network.io

Confirm the metrics are missing 🔗

To confirm these metrics are missing perform the following steps:

  1. Confirm that the metrics are missing with the following Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL) command:

| mstats count(_value) as "Val" where index="otel_metrics_0_93_3" AND metric_name IN (k8s.pod.*, k8s.node.*) by metric_name
  1. Check the Collector’s pod logs from the CLI of the Kubernetes node with this command:

kubectl -n {namespace} logs {collector-agent-pod-name}

Note: Update namespace and collector-agent-pod-name based on your environment.

  1. You will see a 「tls: failed to verify certificate」 error similar to the one below in the agent pod logs:

2024-02-28T01:11:24.614Z    error   scraperhelper/scrapercontroller.go:200  Error scraping metrics  {"kind": "receiver", "name": "kubeletstats", "data_type": "metrics", "error": "Get \"https://10.202.38.255:10250/stats/summary\": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: cannot validate certificate for 10.202.38.255 because it doesn't contain any IP SANs", "scraper": "kubeletstats"}

  go.opentelemetry.io/collector/receiver@v0.93.0/scraperhelper/scrapercontroller.go:176

Resolution 🔗

The Kubelet統計レシーバー collects k8s.(pod or node) metrics from the Kubernetes endpoint /stats/summary. As of version 0.87.0 of the Splunk OTel Collector the kubelet certificate is verified during this process to confirm it’s valid. If you are using a self signed or invalid certificate the Kubelet stats receiver cannot collect the metrics.

You have two alternatives to resolve this error:

  1. Add valid a certificate to your Kubernetes cluster. See how at Helmで Collector for Kubernetes を設定する. After updating the values.yaml file use the Helm upgrade command to upgrade your Collector deployment.

  2. Disable certificate verification in the OTel agent Kubelet Stats receiver by setting insecure_skip_verify: true for the Kubelet stats receiver in the agent.config section of the values.yaml.

For example, use the configuration below to disable certificate verification:

agent:
  config:
    receivers:
      kubeletstats:
        insecure_skip_verify: true

注意

Keep in mind your security requirements before disabling certificate verification.
