[telegraf] Error parsing response: parsing time "null"

[Cryptophobia]

From @zinuzoid on December 13, 2016 9:23

Metric in Grafana seems doesn't work, so I check telegraf and there're some error logs from pods.

I'm running cluster in GKE k8s version 1.4.6 Images: quay.io/deis/telegraf:v2.7.0

Is there a way to dig it deeper. I did try to add AGENT_DEBUG:true, AGENT_QUITE:false but doesn't help much from log.

Hmmm, I'm not able to reproduce this issue w/ same telegraf image (also GKE, k8s server 1.4.7)

Is there a way to dig it deeper. I did try to add AGENT_DEBUG:true, AGENT_QUITE:false but doesn't help much from log.

@jchauncey any suggestions on how to debug?

Nope. I've seen this before but I'm not sure what the cause was. Is it still happening?

@zinuzoid I encounter a similar issue. Telegraf is using url = "http://10.240.0.19:10255" for connecting to kubelet, but your kubelet is most likely listen on HTTPS only.

From @stuszynski on February 7, 2017 12:38

Sorry, my bad. The http://<node-ip>:10255 refer to the unsecured read-only port available on each kubelet.

     --read-only-port int32                                    The read-only port for the Kubelet to serve on with no authentication/authorization, and for localhost healthz endpoint (set to 0 to disable) (default 10255)

I check it manually and I'm sure it provide data on this URL from a telegraf container. We still, however, experience above issue.
