Failed to extract pod utilization metrics. Make sure you have a metrics-server deployed on your cluster.

A colleague recommended trying out kdash for monitoring the kube cluster instead of k9s.

When I tried it out, it worked, but spit out this warning/info message:

│Failed to extract pod utilization metrics. Make sure you have a metrics-server deployed on your cluster.      │

I have no idea what that means, just passing along the info in case it's useful/interesting.

KDash looks nice and thanks for sharing that! Maybe your issue is releated to kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server#963? Not sure. We haven't tweak Kubernetes in any way at the moment that should affect that. My guess is that this would be something aws specific.

Think it all comes down to if you prefer terminals/guis more.
