Code change:
When installing the metrics-server to implement the API and the prometheus-adapter to implement the API, it is possible to make the OpenAPI handler fail to initialize with this error log in apiserver: This will result in kubectl discovery calls to /openapi/v2 to fail with a 503: The OpenAPI handler should not fail to initialize if both and are serving the same path for different API groups/versions. I can provide exact installation steps if needed, however, a high-level repro is: install metrics-server to serve install prometheus-adapter to serve ensure resourceRules is populated in the prometheus-adapter config so that resource metrics are also served by restarting apiserver will result in the OpenAPI failure and 503 responses to /openapi/v2 path No response <details</details<detailsAWS </details<details</details<details</details<details</details<details</details
Please let me know if I should reopen the issue in

Would you mind taking a look when have time? Thank you^^ /triage accepted
I have a question. should be serving under . Why does an apiservice serving another gvk register paths under ? cc we've made the assumption that an APIService (such as metrics-server or prometheus-adapter) serves only gvks under its own registered group version. I'll do some more investigation but just wondering if prometheus doesn't follow that assumption?
the prometheus-adapter can also be configured to serve and replace the metrics-server by enabling these metrics, However, if the prometheus-adapter fronts and metrics-server fronts , it does seem like the correct behavior would be for prometheus-adapter to serve until an operator updates the APIService to reference prometheus-adapter rather than metrics-server. We're seeing this issue occur for upgrades between 1.27 and 1.28 so it does look this path duplication did not cause the OpenAPI handler to fail on 1.27.
I just upgraded from 1.27 to 1.28 and running into this problem. Some kubectl apply operations fail, and ArgoCD cannot load its custom resources. Any suggested workaround? Would removing the from the prometheus configuration resolve it? Or perhaps disable metrics-server?
Simply looking at the code diff between 1.27 and 1.28 I can't pinpoint the cause. Can I get your exact repro steps? suggests that the conflicting paths should be removed before the merge. We always call this function with
One other question is if this is reproducible by just applying a set of yaml/installations or does it require a cluster upgrade to trigger? Thanks!
hit same problem and we cannot install any other new helm plugins. maybe we need to move forward
Here are verbose repro instructions. An apiserver restart on 1.28 will induce the issue.
Hello. I'm still having some trouble reproducing although I'm not 100% sure if the configuration is correct. I'm trying to repro via kind. afaik installing via helm has prometheus adapter serving . seems to suggest that prometheus adapter is serving under . Applying the update to the configmap per the instructions didn't change the apiservice on my end. Not sure if this is my misconfiguration or intended. I've also tested via integration test that having two openapis serving the same path doesn't cause errors and one will get filtered out. A simple workaround is probably to delete the metrics-server if it is already superseded by the prometheus-adapter.
The is not set up in an resource for us, we only created an APIService with . When I go fetch the openAPI schema served up by the endpoint, it has schema information for in it if that is enabled using . If I remove then the schema fetched from the server doesn't have stuff in it, and the error is resolved. We have been keeping around because I think something uses it directly, or used to. Maybe ? That could have changed But in any case, this problem is quite severe when it happens so it would be nice to fix it as there may be others who do the same update and have to do some deep diving into the logs and all kinds of crazy diagnostics and guesswork to figure it out.
How does the get reached without an APIService? The resources would be unavailable for the apiserver to query and it'll be through something else? I see, adding resources for me doesn't populate the OpenAPI. I wonder if this could be cloud provider specific. I'm totally supportive of fixing, it's just quite difficult to reproduce on my part .
Hmm good question. In our staging cluster I tried bringing back the in the custom metrics server configuration and restarting all the masters, and the problem did not come back, everything seems OK now. So it maybe isn't that easy to reproduce
After updating the configmap, restarting the prometheus-adapter pod to pickup the changes and restarting the apiserver are both required to induce the issue. I have been able to deterministically reproduce this following those steps, please follow up here if you are still having issues.
That's good to hear. I'll need some more help with reproducing it. I've been able to verify that restarting the prometheus adapter pod picks up the configmap changes but restarting the apiserver hasn't caused any crashes for me. I've tested this both on the latest master branch and 1.28.
While I'm yet to fully understand these changes, the 2 PRs below (both of which went into 1.28) seem likely candidates for a regression here: - introduced lazy loading in openAPI v2 handler to load/compute the aggregator spec when requested by client - switched the spec merging function from to any clue if one of the above changes could be causing mischief?
Also from example request at the top, the impact seems to be to the v2 API: Nathan - when you get a chance, could you also confirm if v1 API doesn't run into this?
OpenAPI only supports v2 and v3.
hi, any clue about this issue?
It's possible but I haven't been able to reproduce it. Can I ask if this is happening on cloud providers outside AWS?
Here are the apiservices and relevant pod objects with a working repro from these steps If it's useful, I can provide yamls for these objects in addition to the settings applied in the prometheus-adapter configmap. Can you confirm that the pods backing your prometheus-adapter and metrics-server are running?
I meet this problem
We the problem in GCP as well.
ACK in Alibaba Cloud also meets this problem
We were able to fix the v2 availability by and re-installing the kube-prometheus helm chart. Unfortunately, after restarting the k8s api server, v2 availability is broken again.
yes, I'm running on kind. I'll do some more digging, assuming it's related to those PRs linked by but still haven't pinpointed anything.
I tried to reproduce on my local setup with based on steps + , but I could still get a successful response when I executed . Then I reverted one of the step mentioned in to and waited until the new pod came alive and then did a apiserver restart and I was able to reproduce the same thing on as well i.e; I get the 503 response when I execute following command after the fact. After this point, even if i change it back to and restart the apiserver , the error is persistent. Let me know if this works for you to reproduce ? PS: Also, i want to call out that there is no issue with , its .
Thanks, alright I found a way to reproduce it consistently without restarting the apiserver. Still investigating the root cause. Thanks for the detailed reproduction and
Quick update: This issue was a combination of bugs both in k/k and prometheus adapter. I opened to mitigate on k/k side which should fix the issue. The issue was difficult to reproduce because it requires a very specific ordering of OpenAPI merging to trigger, which is why I suspect many people were able to reproduce after some restarts to kube-apiserver. Prometheus and metrics server serve differing OpenAPIs for the endpoint. Prometheus also doesn't seem to be registering discovery's OpenAPI properly (missing OpenAPI for but having the OpenAPI for whereas it is all present in metrics server. This inconsistency in how prometheus and metrics server handle the OpenAPI surfaced the merging issue.
a little wired question: why do we need to restart kube-apiserver to reproduce this problem?
Tried to reproduce the issue after cherry picking the fix and didn't run into below error. Fix is working as expected.
It can look like restarting prometheus-adapter "fixes" the issue? I am also curious about suggestion of removing the section from the config map works as a temporary workaround until released upstream (we use and cannot delete the apiregistration)? As I understand the fix for this issue is currently in
