Hi,

I am trying this config but getting the error.

level=error ts=2020-07-21T17:02:20.618Z caller=klog.go:94 component=k8s_client_runtime func=ErrorDepth msg="/app/discovery/kubernetes/kubernetes.go:333: Failed to list *v1.Node: Get https://master-server-ip/api/v1/nodes?limit=500&resourceVersion=0: dial tcp master-server-ip:443: connect: connection refused"

not sure if i am missing anything. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am still seeing "server returned HTTP status 400 Bad Request" for pods and services. "/proxy/metrics".
