Does it stick around for about 5 mintues? If so, this sounds like we are missing staleness markers when a pod is evicted.

@dashpole Yes，thanks for your reply, how should I modify the parameters to solve this issue?

Does this happen only when a pod is evicted? Or also when a pod is deleted?

Yes, it happens when a pod is evicted or deleted.

my best guess is that when we apply the new config to the service manager and discovery manager, it removes the targets without generating a staleness marker. But fixing it will probably be a change in the prometheus server (promethues/prometheus). We need to reproduce this with the prometheus server (updating the config file to remove a static target), and see if the series is marked stale (if the line correctly stops) in the graph.
