+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1913096 +++ See upstream bug: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/95204 Description of problem: Machine metrics from cadvisor are missing in Kubernetes 1.19+ (OpenShift 4.6+). I believe OpenShift does not use the machine_* metrics to calculate machine resource stats, instead relying on the stable metrics provided by kube-state-metrics: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/95204#issuecomment-719445180 However, it is possible our customers are using these metrics directly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.6+ How reproducible: Expected output from a metrics query: # kubectl get --raw "/api/v1/nodes/NODE_NAME/proxy/metrics/cadvisor" | grep -i machine_cpu_cores # HELP machine_cpu_cores Number of CPU cores on the machine. # TYPE machine_cpu_cores gauge machine_cpu_cores 4 Actual output: No matching metrics, as these metrics are not produced. Additional info: Patch here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97006 Backport for 1.19: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97692 Backport for 1.20: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97691
Bumped severity - cadvisor machine metrics will be totally missing on a 4.5 -> 4.6 upgrade without this.
