Thank you for this. Please use flag to change metric listening address, docs are here: as for the , the docs are a bit confusing wrt to this field. /kind support
--metrics-bind-address ipport Default: 127.0.0.1: | The IP address and port for the metrics server to serve on, defaulting to "127.0.0.1:" (if --bind-address is unset or IPv4), or "[::1]:" (if --bind-address is IPv6). Set metrics-bind-address to ::1, the effect is as follows tcp6 0 0 ::1: :::* LISTEN /kube-proxy So the document can also be updated. --bind-address may not be useful.
