RETIRED:Heapster provides basic cluster monitoring and is used for running HorizontalPodAutoscalers and integrating metrics into the kubernetes dashboard. The following are potential migration paths for Heapster functionality:
-
For basic CPU/memory HPA metrics: Use metrics-server.
-
For general monitoring: Consider a third-party monitoring pipeline that can gather Prometheus-formatted metrics. The kubelet exposes all the metrics exported by Heapster in Prometheus format. One such monitoring pipeline can be set up using the Prometheus Operator, which deploys Prometheus itself for this purpose.
