I use the Kubernetes system provided by Google Container Engine. When I try to edit the Heapster deployment to add an influxdb sink: 

kubectl --namespace=kube-system edit deployment/heapster-v1.2.0.1

Everything works well, I get the following response: 

deployment "heapster-v1.2.0.1" edited

The pods are recreated successfully but after about 1 minute, the deployment is reverted to its default value.

I thought maybe it was the sink configuration line that I added that was the problem, so I tried to edit the deployment again, but just to add a simple label:

  labels:
    k8s-app: heapster
    kubernetes.io/cluster-service: "true"
    version: v1.2.0.1
    test: test

Same thing happens, the deployment is reverted to its original config after 1 minute. I type the following command and the label is gone: 

kubectl --namespace=kube-system get -o yaml deployment/heapster-v1.2.0.1

Anyone has an idea how I can edit this Heapster deployment?

Thanks

Mathew

    I am having the same scenario. I need to add influxdb sink to the existing heapster pod. Can you suggest me a way to edit this? – Sujai Sivasamy Apr 26 '17 at 06:51
  • I am looking to do this via API. I missed out to mention this. – Sujai Sivasamy Apr 26 '17 at 07:00
  • @SujaiSivasamy I ended up creating an heapster deployment in the default namespace instead of kube-system – Mathew May 01 '17 at 02:14
  • I am trying the same. But i am stuck in providing authentication for the heapster deployment to talk to the secured kube API server. I have posted a question regarding the same: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43731637/provide-authentication-for-heapster-to-connect-to-secured-kube-api-server-in-gke – Sujai Sivasamy May 02 '17 at 09:03
  • @Mathew Apparently, custom configuration aren't supported. Either disable Cloud Monitoring or create another instance of Heapster. [Check this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/45910248/1657309) – Khaled Nov 24 '17 at 14:18
