Is your metrics-server pods up and running?

download yaml file and add command session then apply
- args:
- --cert-dir=/tmp
- --secure-port=4443
- --kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP,ExternalIP,Hostname
- --kubelet-use-node-status-port
- --metric-resolution=15s
command:
- /metrics-server
- --kubelet-insecure-tls
- --kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP

@NileshGule I am still getting the same error
Readiness probe failed: HTTP probe failed with statuscode: 500

Use this link to resolve https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71843068/metrics-server-is-currently-unable-to-handle-the-request
kubectl edit deployments.apps -n kube-system metrics-server
Resolved by editing the deployment yaml files and adding the hostNetwork: true after the dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
save the file and wait for a min and then check the kubectl top no

you made it .

everything worked perfectly but when I proceeded with kubectl top nodes it showed the error: Metrics API not available
Normal Created 3m28s kubelet Created container metrics-server
Normal Started 3m28s kubelet Started container metrics-server
@NileshGule @WasimAhmad

Awesome, it works for me!

Thank you for these!

Thank you very VERY much for this!

Thanks so much for this! it works for me!
