Dial tcp {kubelet_ip}:10250 i/o timeout while trying to get Metricbeat to talk to Azure Kubernetes Service

Getting these errors when trying to install metricbeat as a daemonset using terraform.

What could be the issue, metricbeat or AKS ?

Hi @surprised_ferret

Are you using the default configuration hosts: ["https://${NODE_NAME}:10250"] beats/metricbeat-kubernetes.yaml at main · elastic/beats · GitHub for this field?

you can try to exec to the one of the metricbeat pods and try to access kubelet:

kubectl exec -it <metricbeat-pod> bash

token=$(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token)
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer $(echo $token)" "https://${NODE_NAME}:10250/stats/summary"

does it fail with the same error?

I am passing in this yml to terraform:

I tried to log into a pod within the metricbeat daemonset, but it says 'not found'.

I also tried to log into a pod within the metricbeat-metricbeat-metrics deployment, but same issue.

Actually hold on, I needed to pass in namespace :upside_down_face: hold please...

Getting timeout here as well @Tetiana_Kravchenko

root@metricbeat-metricbeat-78pt9:/usr/share/metricbeat# curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer $(echo $token)" "https://{my_node_name}.hcp.centralus.azmk8s.io:10250/stats/summary"

curl: (28) Failed to connect to {my_node_name}.hcp.centralus.azmk8s.io port 10250: Connection timed out

I think it might be related to the AKS internals - here is mentioned similar issue in AKS documentation
