Metrics server not working in Kubernetes cluster

I have set up kubernetes cluster on ubuntu 18+. It's working fine. now i had added metric server but it's not working.

# kubectl get apiservices

v1beta1.metrics.k8s.io                 kube-system/metrics-server   False (FailedDiscoveryCheck)   2d1h

    # kubectl describe apiservice v1beta1.metrics.k8s.io


    Message:               failing or missing response from https://10.106.145.77:443/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1: Get https://10.106.145.77:443/apis/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1: dial tcp 10.106.145.77:443: connect: connection refused
    Reason:                FailedDiscoveryCheck

I don't know why connection is refused. can any one help me or give me some hint to fix this. i have added RBAC, in cluster, does that is issue? I have try many solution from net but no one can help me. I had try to edit deployment yaml of metric server with args and insecure TLS but didn't help.

After trying so many times i figured it out. Just patch the deployment.

kubectl patch deployment metrics-server -n kube-system --type='json' -p='[
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/spec/template/spec/hostNetwork",
"value": true
},
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/args",
"value": [
"--cert-dir=/tmp",
"--secure-port=4443",
"--kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP,ExternalIP,Hostname",
"--kubelet-use-node-status-port",
"--metric-resolution=15s",
"--kubelet-insecure-tls"
]
},
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/ports/0/containerPort",
"value": 4443
}
]'

Find the args section and try this. Adding the command and /metrics server solved my problem along with updating the preferred address type and then restarting kubelet.

args:
        - --cert-dir=/tmp
        - --secure-port=4443
        command:
        - /metrics-server
        - --kubelet-insecure-tls
        - --kubelet-preferred-address-types=InternalIP,ExternalIP,Hostname

Faced similar issue with 503 Service Unavailable error message. Managed to fix the issue by making below changes.

On your components.yaml file, make sure cert path is correct:

-- cert-dir=/etc/kubernetes/pki

kubectl apply -f components.yaml

(change cert path to that instead of default /tmp. It may depend on your setup so, try find out where your pki certs are on your machine. Mine was on /etc/kubernetes/pki)
