In the Kubernetes dashboard, I can see for a HPA the following information:

Min Replicas:
3
Max Replicas:
11
Target CPU Utilization:
80%
Status
Current Replicas:
3
Desired Replicas:
3
Current CPU Utilization:
10%
Last Scaled:
5 days

However, I can't figure out how the 10% CPU utilization is calculated?

And if this value exposed via Prometheus?

    10% is calculated as 10% of the requested resources in the deployment. So if you request 100mi, 10% is 10 milicores of CPU used. As for prometheus, I have no idea.

  • And in the case of 3 replicas, do you know if this 10% is simply the average across the replicas?

  • Yes, average of all replicas

  • Did you ever find a way to get this in prometheus? I have the prom operator, kube-state-metrics, but the actual percent doesn't seem to be exposed anywhere. I would like to know the percent, not the desired/min/max/etc. replicas.

As we can see from kube-state-metrics/docs/horizontalpodautoscaler-metrics.md

We just need to have kube-state-metrics along with HPA to start getting metrics in prometheus.
