Discussion:
Whenever I try to change kube proxy metrics bind using flag , it gives me: Then, I the port , the error changes. I expect the metrics server to listen to 0.0.0.0:. Do I miss something? Environment: Kubernetes version: v1.7.8 Cloud provider or hardware configuration**: on-premise OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): debian/stretch Kernel (e.g. ): Linux R11U2-7U20N-1 4.9.0-3-amd64 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u3 (2017-08-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux Install tools: Others:

The is being and does NOT allow specifying a port. Have you tried using a config file? The field allows you to specify a port (an example ).

Turned out we use a wrong type when validating and . Sent for fixing this. Will try to cherrypick the fix as well.
New finding, is broken on HEAD in a different way: Seems to be introduced by
Humm..We have some default logic for : Seems like for some reason it does not auto append the default port number OR the validation happens before defaulting.

I got the same issue 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0: both not work with kube-proxy 1.9.3 amd64
It is a BUG. Conflict between componentconfig.IPVar.Set(s string) and validation.validateHostPort.

Could you elaborate the issue a bit more? Which k8s version are you on?
I also meet the same issue with kubernetes 1.8. It's impossibe for Prometheus to fetch metrics from 127.0.0.1: in my case, any workaround? I think we'd better reopen this issue.
metrics binds to by default, are you trying to modify port as well? Thanks for reporting, I confirm the issue is remaining. (or any ip:port) does not work as intended even after the fix. Reopening this and filed a new issue for conflict kubeproxyconfig validation. /reopen
Thanks for reopening the issue. I want to bind metrics to 0.0.0.0: as well. With address 127.0.0.1:, Prometheus cannot pull metrics from this address unless they are on the same node.
