<p>I have deployed prometheus 2.0 on my multi node kubernetes cluster made from kubeadm. While accessing the prometheus dashboard i am not able to view pods and service job even after configuring it in prometheus configuration yaml file.
prometheus target are as follow <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jiQPG.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://i.stack.imgur.com/jiQPG.png</a> .
Does this problem has anything to do with the prometheus version. I think i am going wrong with the syntax part of the configuration. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I assume you are doing the query you posted in the comments:</p>

<pre><code>container_memory_usage_bytes{job="kubernetes-pods"}
</code></pre>

<p>This doesn't work, because you are filtering by the job name <code>kubernetes-pods</code>, but <code>container_memory_usage_bytes</code> comes from cAdvisor. So according to your config the job is named <code>kubernetes-cadvisor</code>.</p>

<p>Therefore this should work:</p>

<pre><code>container_memory_usage_bytes{job="kubernetes-cadvisor"}
</code></pre>

<p>Since the series name is rather unique, you can just omit the job name:</p>

<pre><code>container_memory_usage_bytes
</code></pre>
