The error message:
```
error: daemonsets.apps "prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter" is invalid
A copy of your changes has been stored to "/tmp/kubectl-edit-1500215338.yaml"
error: Edit cancelled, no valid changes were saved.
```
indicates that the edits you made to the DaemonSet were syntactically invalid (YAML formatting or structure issues) and so Kubernetes rejected them.

---

## How to fix this edit error and correctly remove the affinity block

### Steps:

1. **Get the current DaemonSet YAML to a file**:

```bash
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml > node-exporter-ds.yaml
```

2. **Open the file with your preferred editor (vim/nano/micro)**:

```bash
nano node-exporter-ds.yaml
```

3. **Find the `affinity:` block under `.spec.template.spec` and completely remove it**

For example, remove this section (including indentation):

```yaml
affinity:
  nodeAffinity:
    requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
      nodeSelectorTerms:
      - matchExpressions:
        - key: eks.amazonaws.com/compute-type
          operator: NotIn
          values:
          - fargate
        - key: type
          operator: NotIn
          values:
          - virtual-kubelet
```

Make sure you remove exactly the whole `affinity` key and its children.

---

**Important:** Be careful **not** to remove or break any other required sections in the file (like `metadata`, `spec`, `containers`, etc.).

---

4. **Save the file**

5. **Apply the fixed YAML**

```bash
kubectl apply -f node-exporter-ds.yaml
```

6. **Check DaemonSet and Pods**

```bash
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus
kubectl get pods -n prometheus -l app.kubernetes.io/name=prometheus-node-exporter -w
```

Wait to see if pods start scheduling and become `Running`.

---

## If you prefer patching instead of editing full YAML:

You can delete the affinity with a strategic patch:

```bash
kubectl patch ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus --type=json -p='[{"op":"remove","path":"/spec/template/spec/affinity"}]'
```

This command **removes the affinity section** safely.

Then check pods:

```bash
kubectl get pods -n prometheus -l app.kubernetes.io/name=prometheus-node-exporter -w
```

---

## Notes:

- Always validate YAML syntax (e.g. online YAML linters) if editing manually.
- Make sure indentation matches properly, Kubernetes YAML is indentation sensitive.

---

Let me know if you want me to review the YAML snippet you tried to apply!

Your node-exporter pods are still stuck in **Pending**, even after successfully removing the affinity rule, so the problem is elsewhere.

---

### We know so far:
- The affinity blocking scheduling has been removed (`kubectl patch ... remove affinity`).
- Pods remain **Pending** with no endpoints.
- No errors editing the DaemonSet.
- DaemonSet is recreating pods (different pod names).
- The usual cause in this situation is **port conflicts or node conditions**.

---

# Next troubleshooting steps — Find why pods stay Pending

Run `kubectl describe` on one of the **pending** pods to see detailed scheduling failure reasons and events:

```bash
kubectl describe pod prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter-f7hbc -n prometheus
```

Pay very close attention to the **Events** section at bottom. Look for reasons like:

- `FailedScheduling`
- `Insufficient cpu/memory`
- `node(s) had taints that the pod didn't tolerate`
- `node(s) port conflicts`

---

### Common scenario here:  
**"1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports"**

Because `hostPort: 9100` is used by the node-exporter DaemonSet pod spec, only one pod can bind the node's port 9100.

If:

- You have **a previous node-exporter or other app using port 9100 on that node**, or
- The port is reserved or used by other process,

the **scheduler cannot place the new pod**, leaving it Pending.

---

### How to check port conflicts on nodes:

On each node, SSH and run:

```bash
sudo ss -tulpn | grep 9100
```

or

```bash
sudo lsof -i :9100
```

- Identify if any process (including old node-exporter pods or other services) is already binding port 9100.
- If yes, stop/kill the process or pod.

---

### How to remove problematic pods or processes that occupy port 9100:

- List all pods, including possible old node-exporter pods in kube-system or other namespaces:

```bash
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide | grep node-exporter
```

- If found, delete duplicates:

```bash
kubectl delete pod <pod-name> -n <namespace>
```

---

### Optional: Remove hostPort (if port conflicts are persistent)

You can edit the DaemonSet and **remove hostPort 9100** from container ports:

```bash
kubectl edit ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus
```

In the container spec, find and **remove** the line:

```yaml
hostPort: 9100
```

**Warning:** Removing `hostPort` means the node-exporter pods will no longer be exposed on the node's network interface on port 9100. This might break Prometheus scraping unless your setup supports scraping pods directly or via a Service.

---

### Summary of commands to run next:

1. Check pod details & events:

```bash
kubectl describe pod prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter-f7hbc -n prometheus
```

2. On all worker/master nodes, check port usage:

```bash
sudo ss -tulpn | grep 9100
```

3. List all node-exporter pods everywhere:

```bash
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide | grep node-exporter
```

4. Delete any duplicate or conflicting pods/processes.

---

Please paste here the **Events** section from `kubectl describe pod ...` if you'd like help interpreting it!

ASSISTANT
The key error message in the pod event:

```
0/3 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports, 2 node(s) didn't satisfy plugin(s) [NodeAffinity].
```

means:

- **1 node is blocked because port 9100 on the host is already in use**, so the pod can't bind its required `hostPort`.
- **2 other nodes are still blocked by NodeAffinity**, meaning the affinity problem **was not fully removed or the nodes still don't satisfy the affinity**.

---

### Action Plan to fix this step-by-step:

---

## 1. Check port usage on all nodes to fix port conflict

On each node, SSH and run:

```bash
sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100
```

or

```bash
sudo lsof -i :9100
```

If any process is listening on port 9100, identify and stop it.

It's common you might have an old node-exporter instance or some other process holding that port.

---

## 2. Check nodes' labels and affinity issues

Run:

```bash
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
```

Verify if the nodes have labels conflicting with DaemonSet affinity rules.

Since you patched affinity away in the DaemonSet, check if pod spec truly has no affinity:

```bash
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml | grep -A10 affinity
```

If affinity section is still present, patch it again to remove it:

```bash
kubectl patch ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus --type=json -p='[{"op":"remove","path":"/spec/template/spec/affinity"}]'
```

---

## 3. Can your node-exporter tolerate node taints? Check for taints:

```bash
kubectl describe nodes | grep -i taint
```

If nodes have taints and node-exporter does not have matching tolerations, scheduler will refuse to schedule pods there.

If taints exist, you may need to add tolerations to the DaemonSet pod spec.

---

## 4. Optional: Remove `hostPort` to avoid port conflicts (if acceptable)

Removing hostPort avoids port conflict, but means node exporter pod isn't exposed on node IP:9100.

Edit DaemonSet:

```bash
kubectl edit ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus
```

Remove this line from container port spec:

```yaml
hostPort: 9100
```

---

## Summary:

- Fix the port conflict on the one node blocking scheduling.
- Ensure affinity is removed completely.
- Verify taints and add tolerations if needed.

---

If you want, paste the output of:

```bash
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml | grep -A15 affinity
kubectl describe nodes | grep -i taint
```

and any port usage info from your nodes (`ss`/`lsof`), I can help you with exact next commands.

Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource
vagrant@worker:~$ 
ASSISTANT
You are running `kubectl describe nodes | grep -i taint` on the worker node shell, but:

- The error `Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource` indicates **kubectl cannot connect properly to the API server or lacks permissions**.
- Similarly the `memcache.go` errors indicate the client can’t get the API group info — probably your `kubectl` config on the worker node isn't set up or is broken.

---

### What this means:

- You need to run **kubectl commands on the control plane/master node**, where kubeconfig and permissions are correctly set.
- Running `kubectl` from the worker node shell without proper kubeconfig configured will result in these errors.

---

## What to do now

### 1. SSH or log into your Kubernetes **master node**

From your host:

```bash
vagrant ssh master
```

(Or however you access your master VM)

### 2. Run the commands on the master node to check node taints, labels, and affinity again:

```bash
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
kubectl describe nodes | grep -i taint
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml | grep -A 15 affinity
```

### 3. Also double-check port 9100 usage on master and worker nodes

On each node (master and workers):

```bash
sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100
```

---

## Summary

- The `kubectl` command on the worker does not have correct context/permissions to query kube API.
- Run `kubectl` on the master node or on machine with proper kubeconfig.
- Investigate taints, node labels, affinity from there.
- Check port 9100 conflicts on all nodes.

---

If you want, share outputs of those commands from the master node and from port checks, and I can help you with the next steps to get node-exporter pods scheduled.

vagrant@worker2:~$ sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100
vagrant@worker2:~$ 
ASSISTANT
On `worker2` node, port **9100 is not in use**, so no port conflict there.

---

### Next steps:

1. **Check port 9100 usage on *all* other nodes (including master and other workers):**

Make sure no node has port 9100 occupied:

```bash
ssh <node>
sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100
```

2. **Check node labels and taints on master node**

Connect to your **master node** where kubectl works properly:

```bash
vagrant ssh master
```

Run:

```bash
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
kubectl describe nodes | grep -i taint
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml | grep -A 15 affinity
```

3. **Verify that DaemonSet affinity is removed**

Verify affinity block is gone:

```bash
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml | grep -A 15 affinity
```

It should return no affinity block or empty `{}`.

---

### Explanation:

- One node is refusing to schedule node-exporter pods because port 9100 is busy.
- Other two nodes are rejected due to affinity or taints.
- So far on worker2, port 9100 free — good.
- You need to check other nodes for port usage and taints.

---

### If all nodes have free port 9100 and no taints preventing scheduling, pods should start running.

If after fixing that pods are still pending:

- Paste output of `kubectl describe pod <node-exporter-pod> -n prometheus` to see fresh events.

---

### Summary:

- **No port 9100 conflict on worker2** (good).
- Check other nodes for conflict.
- Check master node for node labels and taints.
- Confirm DaemonSet affinity removed.

---

Let me know if you want help interpreting outputs when you get them!

Thanks for sharing the output!

---

### What we see:

- All **3 nodes** (`master`, `worker`, `worker2`) are **Ready**.
- **No taints** on any node.
- Nodes have standard labels; none have the `eks.amazonaws.com/compute-type` or `type=virtual-kubelet` labels.
- So, **node affinity from the DaemonSet should NOT be preventing scheduling anymore** (especially since you removed affinity).

---

### Next: Check DaemonSet affinity

Please run:

```bash
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml | grep -A 15 affinity
```

You want to confirm the affinity **section is gone or empty**.  
It should return no output, or something like:

```yaml
affinity: {}
```

### Check port 9100 usage on master and worker nodes

Since `worker2` has no port 9100 conflict, check on `master` and `worker`:

On **master**:

```bash
vagrant ssh master
sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100
```

On **worker**:

```bash
vagrant ssh worker
sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100
```

If either shows port 9100 in use, please stop/kill that process or pod.

---

### Explanation of current situation

Earlier message:

```
0/3 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports, 2 node(s) didn't satisfy plugin(s) [NodeAffinity]
```

With **no taints** and **no special affinity**, the “2 nodes didn’t satisfy NodeAffinity” should no longer happen — but check DaemonSet affinity confirms this.

The “1 node with port conflict” means on one node port 9100 is occupied.

---

### Alternative: Remove hostPort 9100 usage from DaemonSet

If you cannot free port 9100 on the conflicting node, you can edit DaemonSet to remove `hostPort: 9100`:

```bash
kubectl edit ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus
```

Remove or comment out:

```yaml
hostPort: 9100
```

Save and exit.

---

### After fixes:

Check pods status:

```bash
kubectl get pods -n prometheus -l app.kubernetes.io/name=prometheus-node-exporter -w
```

Check endpoints:

```bash
kubectl get ep prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus
```

---

### Summary:

1. Verify DaemonSet affinity is removed.
2. Check port 9100 usage on **all nodes**; free if in use.
3. Remove `hostPort` if port conflict cannot be resolved.
4. Pods should schedule and become ready.

---

If you can run the `kubectl get ds ... affinity` command and check port 9100 usage on master and worker, share the output and I’ll guide you next!

ASSISTANT
Thanks for the detailed outputs!

---

## What we have now:

- **All nodes are Ready, with no taints**
- **No node affinity configured on the node-exporter DaemonSet** (empty output means no `affinity` section)
- **No processes on *any* node are listening on port 9100**
- Yet **node-exporter pods remain Pending**, with the error `1 node(s) didn't have free ports`—which doesn't reflect reality now, since no port conflict exists.

---

## This is unusual

Since:

- No affinity blocking scheduling
- No ports in use to block hostPort binding
- No taints blocking pods
- Nodes are Ready

Pods **should schedule immediately**.

---

# Next steps to troubleshoot:

### 1. Describe node-exporter pods again & collect scheduling failure events

Run:

```bash
kubectl describe pod <pod-name> -n prometheus
```

(e.g.)

```bash
kubectl get pods -n prometheus -l app.kubernetes.io/name=prometheus-node-exporter
kubectl describe pod prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter-f7hbc -n prometheus
```

Look specifically at **Events** at end for current failure reasons.

---

### 2. Check for any scheduling restrictions or constraints blocking pod placement:

```bash
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec}'
```

Look for:

- `nodeSelector`
- `tolerations`
- `affinity` (should be empty as you showed)
- `hostPort: 9100` is probably still present — keep in mind!

---

### 3. Check node capacity and resource availability:

Check node resources:

```bash
kubectl describe nodes master
kubectl describe nodes worker
kubectl describe nodes worker2
```

Look for **Allocatable** and **Capacity** values, and current resource usage.

Or:

```bash
kubectl top nodes
```

(if metrics-server is installed and working)

Pods can stay pending if nodes have insufficient CPU/memory.

---

### 4. Consider removing `hostPort: 9100` to troubleshoot

Since no port conflicts currently seen, but the scheduler error persists, you may try this quick workaround:

```bash
kubectl edit ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus
```

Find the container port spec and **remove or comment out** the line:

```yaml
hostPort: 9100
```

Save and exit.

This will remove the need for pods to claim exclusive host port 9100.

Note: After this, Prometheus scraping configuration might require adjustment if it expects to scrape via node IP:9100.

---

### 5. Wait & check pod status again:

```bash
kubectl get pods -n prometheus -l app.kubernetes.io/name=prometheus-node-exporter -w
```

Pods should move from Pending to Running.

---

# Summary

- Everything in the cluster looks fine from labels, taints, affinity, and port usage perspective.
- Scheduler error about port conflict is not backed by actual port usage.
- Possible stale state or subtle config issue.
- Removing `hostPort: 9100` may resolve scheduling.
- Also check pod describe events after attempts, they provide the definitive clue.

---

If you can:

- Provide output of `kubectl describe pod <pending-node-exporter-pod> -n prometheus` **Events section** again after your latest changes
- State if you tried removing `hostPort` and what happened

I can help with next steps!

Your node-exporter DaemonSet pod spec (stripped and formatted snippet) looks like this:

```yaml
containers:
- name: node-exporter
  image: quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter:v1.9.1
  args:
  - --path.procfs=/host/proc
  - --path.sysfs=/host/sys
  - --path.rootfs=/host/root
  - --path.udev.data=/host/root/run/udev/data
  - --web.listen-address=[$(HOST_IP)]:9100
  env:
  - name: HOST_IP
    value: "0.0.0.0"
  ports:
  - containerPort: 9100
    name: metrics
    protocol: TCP
  livenessProbe:
    httpGet:
      path: /
      port: 9100
      scheme: HTTP
  readinessProbe:
    httpGet:
      path: /
      port: 9100
      scheme: HTTP
hostNetwork: true
hostPID: true
nodeSelector:
  kubernetes.io/os: linux
tolerations:
- key: node-role.kubernetes.io/master
  operator: Exists
  effect: NoSchedule
```

---

### Important observations

- **`hostNetwork: true`** is set, which means the container shares the host's network namespace.
- **No `hostPort` is explicitly configured**, which is good — avoids port conflicts via hostPort.
- **`nodeSelector` enforces scheduling only on Linux nodes** — your nodes satisfy this.
- **There is a toleration for `node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule`**, which means these pods can run on master nodes that have that taint.
- The pods listen on `0.0.0.0:9100` inside the host's network namespace, so effectively binding port 9100 on the node interface.

---

### Why might pods still be Pending?

Even though no explicit `hostPort` is set, **`hostNetwork: true` + container listening on port 9100 means the pod tries to bind port 9100 on the node's network interface directly**.

If **port 9100 is already in use on a node**, this will block pod scheduling on that node.

Since you previously saw an error about port 9100 conflict, likely one node has another process or pod already listening on `9100` port on host network.

---

### Please run these checks next:

#### Check which process (if any) is listening on port 9100 on *each* node:

```bash
sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100
```

If you find an existing node-exporter or other process on any node listening on port 9100, please stop or delete it.

---

#### Check for existing node-exporter pods running on cluster:

```bash
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide | grep node-exporter
```

If you spot duplicate node-exporter pods in other namespaces (kube-system or another prometheus namespace), delete redundant one(s):

```bash
kubectl delete pod <pod-name> -n <namespace>
```

---

### Recap of what to resolve:

- Since pods use `hostNetwork: true` and listen on port 9100, **no two pods can bind port 9100 on the same node**.
- Make sure **no other pod or process uses port 9100 on your nodes**, or nodes will reject new pod scheduling.
- If port conflicts persist and cannot be resolved, **consider changing node-exporter host port usage or network mode**, but that would require configuration changes in Prometheus too.

---

### Final suggestion

After stopping conflicting processes or pods, check if node-exporter pods schedule:

```bash
kubectl get pods -n prometheus -l app.kubernetes.io/name=prometheus-node-exporter -w
kubectl get ep prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus
```

---

Let me know the output of `sudo ss -tulpn | grep :9100` on all nodes, and any other node-exporter pods you find. I can then guide you exactly on resolving port conflicts.

ASSISTANT
It looks like you started editing the DaemonSet YAML but only included the head of the resource. To help you remove or edit something specific, please tell me exactly what you want to change. From previous discussions, I understand the goal might be to:

- Remove the problematic affinity section (if present),
- Or remove `hostNetwork: true` to avoid port conflicts,
- Or remove the tolerations,
- Or remove the `hostPort` if it's present (though from your previous output it is not set),
- Or check and fix a specific field.

---

### Here's what to do to remove the **hostNetwork: true** setting (which requires proper understanding because node-exporter typically needs hostNetwork for metrics):

Locate this section in `spec.template.spec`:
```yaml
hostNetwork: true
```

and **delete** or comment it out (with `#` prefix).

---

### Or to remove affinity (if it exists):

Remove the whole `affinity:` block inside `spec.template.spec`.

---

### Or to remove tolerations:

Look for:

```yaml
tolerations:
- key: node-role.kubernetes.io/master
  operator: Exists
  effect: NoSchedule
```

and delete this entire list, or set it to `[]` (empty array).

---

### If you want me to craft a complete fixed YAML snippet for your current DaemonSet, please provide the full YAML (you can run):

```bash
kubectl get ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus -o yaml > node-exporter.yaml
```

and share the content particularly around `.spec.template.spec`.

---

### Or for quick patch to remove only `hostNetwork`:

You can run:

```bash
kubectl patch ds prometheus-prometheus-node-exporter -n prometheus --type=json -p='[{"op":"remove","path":"/spec/template/spec/hostNetwork"}]'
```

---

### Please specify exactly what edits you'd like, or provide the full YAML to review and help edit.

how to vind host ip with vi
ASSISTANT
If you want to **find (search for) "host IP" or "host IP address" or any string matching "host ip"** inside a file while editing it with `vi` or `vim`, use the following steps:

---

### Steps to find a string (e.g., "host ip") inside vi/vim:

1. Open the file with `vi` or `vim`:

```bash
vi filename.yaml
```

2. Press `/` (forward slash) key to start a search.

3. Type the search string. For example:

```
host ip
```

or just:

```
host
```

4. Press **Enter**

5. The cursor will jump to the first match.

6. Press `n` to go to the next match, or `N` to go to the previous match.

---

### For case insensitive search

You can add `\c` to your search to ignore case:

```
/host\c
```

and press Enter. This matches `host`, `Host`, `HOST`, etc.

---

### Example:

```bash
vi node-exporter.yaml
```

Then:

```
/host
```

**Enter**

Cursor jumps to first occurrence of "host".

---

### How to exit

- Press `Esc` to make sure you are in Normal mode.
- Type `:q` and press Enter to quit.

---

### Bonus: To search for regex patterns, for example, "host.*ip"

```
/host.*ip
```

---

Let me know if you want instructions on editing or replacing text inside `vi`!
