<p>I'm deploying my test Kubernetes cluster on AWS using Rancher 1.5.1.</p>

<p>I first deploy Rancher and ensure that there are no errors after hosts registration.
I then install Kubernetes using "Kubernetes" entry in the Rancher's catalog.
That succeeds seemingly without any errors and I get access to my 1.5.0 Kubernetes:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"5", GitVersion:"v1.5.4", GitCommit:"7243c69eb523aa4377bce883e7c0dd76b84709a1", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-03-08T02:50:34Z", GoVersion:"go1.8", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"5+", GitVersion:"v1.5.0-115+611cbb22703182", GitCommit:"611cbb22703182611863beda17bf9f3e90afa148", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-01-13T18:03:00Z", GoVersion:"go1.7.4", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

<p>As I understand, the Heapster with InfluxDB and Grafana dashboard is part of the default Kubernetes installation now. All Heapster, InfluxDB and Grafana related pods show no errors nether in logs nor in status and seem to run successfully:</p>

<p>The strange thing I can only see here, is that "Port:" entries are empty (instead of having some value as I'd expected).</p>

<p>Here is part of the influxdb-grafana-876329878-5qpsd log. It seems that it starts successfully on port 3000:</p>

<p>At the end, I cannot connect to the Grafana dashboard neither via Rancher load balancer mapping to the monitoring-grafana port 80 (I get 503 "Service not found" error) nor via Kubernetes port forwarding (connection times out)</p>

<p>My cluster-info output:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at https://my-rancher-host:8080/r/projects/1a5/kubernetes
KubeDNS is running at https://my-rancher-host:8080/r/projects/1a5/kubernetes/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns
kubernetes-dashboard is running at https://my-rancher-host:8080/r/projects/1a5/kubernetes/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-dashboard
</code></pre>

<p>is different from the one demonstrated in this Heapster video:
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSMNR2fcoLs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSMNR2fcoLs</a></p>

<p>Can anybody give a hint about what can be wrong and how can I connect to the Heapster's Grafana dashboard?</p>

<p>It appears I had to add a correct ingress to the system:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: monitoring-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
spec:
  rules:
  - host: monitoring.kube-system.mykubernetes.host
    http:
      paths:
      - path:
        backend:
          serviceName: monitoring-grafana
          servicePort: 80
</code></pre>
