Description of problem: The current haproxy metrics requires usage of another image to be sideloaded into the pod. This is not ideal but fine except that the image being used is not shipped by Red Hat [0]. It is an image from docker.io [0] https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.3/install_config/router/default_haproxy_router.html#exposing-the-router-metrics If we support it, we need to ship it ourselves.
In 3.6 we have a supported metrics endpoint as part of haproxy. No externaml image required.
I checked this feature in 3.6. this metric info can be got on the router node by: # curl 127.0.0.1:1935/metrics -u admin:FAh7ibk0Pw
We've decided to deprecate the router metrics image as well. We should remove references from the docs.
