<p>I made the Kubernetes cluster with 2 azure Ubuntu VMs and trying to monitor the cluster. For that, I have deployed node-exporter daemonSet, heapster, Prometheus and grafana. Configured the node-exporter as a target in Prometheus rules files. but I am getting <code>Get http://master-ip:30002/metrics: context deadline exceeded</code> error. I have also increased <code>scrape_interval</code> and <code>scrape_timeout</code> values in the Prometheus-rules file. </p>

<p>The following are the manifest files for the Prometheus-rules file and node-exporter daemonSet and service files.</p>

<p>Can we take service as NodePort for Node-exporter daemonSet? if the answer NO, how could we configure in a prometheus-rules file as the target? Could anyone help me to understand the scenario? Are any suggestible links also fine?</p>

<p>As @gayahtri confirmed in comments </p>

  <p>We have debugged it offline and the problem was the network.
  Running the Prometheus container with "--network=host" solved the issue.</p>
