For others who come here from Google, this is the yaml I’m using to run the DO monitoring agent under DigitalOcean Kubernetes:

We’re currently working on implementing Kubernetes monitoring in the DigitalOcean dashboard, including node performance metrics plus a handful of optional deployment-related kube-state-metrics. The do-agent will run on the nodes by default. We expect monitoring to be out by next month.
