Similarly to the agent, run /metrics endpoint on the health port instead of the admin port.

By default, adminServer binds to localhost, which doesn't let prometheus to scrap server's /metrics.
If I bind adminServer to podIP, /debug/ endpoints will be exposed too since they are served by the same adminServer.
It is more secure to keep /debug on localhost and expose metrics on podIP:healthPort

How was this tested?

./bin/proxy-server --server-ca-cert=certs/frontend/issued/ca.crt --server-cert=certs/frontend/issued/proxy-frontend.crt --server-key=certs/frontend/private/proxy-frontend.key --cluster-ca-cert=certs/agent/issued/ca.crt --cluster-cert=certs/agent/issued/proxy-frontend.crt --cluster-key=certs/agent/private/proxy-frontend.key --health-port=8134 --admin-port=8133

Hi @aldudko. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

@ipochi I'm fine with the change. I think the only real concern would be backward compatibility. Arguably with admin port bound to localhost then it seems unlikely that anyone if relying on scraping from the port. Are you ok as is or do you think which should ask for a backward compatibility mode flag?

My 2 cents: just leave the metrics handler in both places unconditionally, and add a comment that admin server is only for backward compatibility.

Otherwise, nice to add some unit test coverage of this redirect.

Hi @aldudko , I think @jkh52 has a point. Can we just leave the metrics response in place on the admin server? If you can reach it, you don't need to redirect. If you can only reach the health port, then the redirect doesn't help.
