I am using GKE autopilot cluster, and I am trying to get prometheus metrics for the CPU and memory usages of my pods/containers. As far as I know metrics-server is installed by default on any GKE cluster. I can also see it in the pods list in the kube-system namespace:
kube-system gke-metrics-agent-94768
1/1 Running 0 72m kube-system
gke-metrics-agent-hvpb7 1/1
Running 0 7h29m kube-system gke-metrics-agent-j9lcl
1/1 Running 0 74m kube-system
gke-metrics-agent-jfqkc 1/1
Running 0 72m kube-system gke-metrics-agent-qwnxf
1/1 Running 0 75m kube-system
gke-metrics-agent-rz6t5 1/1
Running 0 3m27s kube-system gke-metrics-agent-wzqhc
1/1 Running 0 7h26m
But, I do not see any CPU and memory metrics for the pods/containers. I cannot install metrics-server myself since in the autopilot mode, the kube-system namespace is protected by permissions.
How can I get pods/container memory and CPU metrics to prometheus in GKE autopilot?
