Hello Lens community,
I’m experiencing an issue with metrics display in Lens IDE when using VictoriaMetrics as the metrics source.
My setup consists of a Kubernetes cluster with VictoriaMetrics Single deployed as the metrics storage solution. The metrics service endpoint is configured in Lens as infrastructure/victoria-metrics-server:8428.
The current behavior is inconsistent across different Lens pages:
- Pods and Services pages: Metrics display correctly with full historical data
- Overview and Nodes pages: No metrics are displayed (screenshots attached showing empty charts)
When I switch to using the Kubernetes Metrics Server instead of VictoriaMetrics:
- Workload and Nodes pages: Metrics display properly
- Pods and Services pages: Only show real-time metrics collected while the tab is open, without historical data
This suggests that VictoriaMetrics Single is properly collecting and storing metrics, but there seems to be a compatibility issue specifically with the Overview and Nodes pages in Lens when using VictoriaMetrics as the data source.
Has anyone encountered similar issues with VictoriaMetrics single-node version integration in Lens? Are there specific configuration requirements or known compatibility issues between Lens and VictoriaMetrics single-node version for the cluster-level metrics display?
Any guidance on how to resolve this discrepancy would be greatly appreciated.
