The Kubernetes apiserver validates and configures data for the api objects which include pods, services, replicationcontrollers, and others. The kube-apiserver services the REST operations and provides the frontend to the cluster’s shared state through which all other components interact.
By default, the kube-apiserver runs on port 6443 and exposes the metrics of /metrics in openMetric format. The Agent hits the endpoint with the kubernetes client and fetches the metrics automatically. Therefore. no extra configuration or detection logic is required.
Validate
Go to Resources under the Infrastructure tab to check if your resources are onboarded and the metrics are collected.
