Get usage information of minions in Kubenretes Cluster

[vaibhav kohli]

I wanted to get the usage information of minion resources (CPU,memory, etc.). Are there any API`s or some hack way which can provide me the "usage" details of the minions in the Kubernetes cluster.

Or are their any exposed API`s of cadvisor in Kubernetes codebase which can be used for this purpose ?

You can probably look at cAdvisor remote REST API.

Thanks for the reply. I have already seen that API`s is there any specific API from cAdvisor which can give me the usage info of minion inspite of containers.

Are you looking for the usage of the Kubelet, the whole machine, or a specific container/pod?

For Kubelet: today we won't be able to since it doesn't run in a container (there are plans for this to be the case in the near future).

For the whole machine: You are looking for the root container ("/") in cAdvisor.

For a container/pod: You can query the individual container in cAdvisor.

If you're looking for the usage of all non-containerized things on the machine there is no API for that today but you can do:

usage at root - (sum of usage of all children of root)
