Enable metrics-server

To enable metrics-server, update the MKE cluster configuration and apply the changes.

1. Download the current MKE configuration file, replacing $MKE_HOST and $AUTHTOKEN with your controller URL and bearer token:

   curl --silent --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTHTOKEN" \
     "https://${MKE_HOST}/api/ucp/config-toml" > mke-config.toml
   

2. Locate the cluster_config.metrics_server option:

   [cluster_config.metrics_server]
     enabled = false
     replicas = 2
   

   For detailed information on the cluster_config.descheduler configuration parameter, refer to the configuration options detail.

3. Set the enabled parameter to true.

4. Upload the updated MKE configuration file:

   curl --silent --insecure -X PUT -H "accept: application/toml" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTHTOKEN" \
     --upload-file mke-config.toml \
     "https://${MKE_HOST}/api/ucp/config-toml"
   

5. Wait for cluster reconciliation and Verify metrics-server.
