Example

N/A

Symptoms

• Report shows: HPA has no metrics configured
• spec.metrics is empty or missing

Resolution

1. Add at least one metric: resource (e.g. cpu, memory), pods, or object
2. For resource metrics ensure metrics-server (or equivalent) is installed
3. Set target type and value (e.g. averageUtilization for CPU)
4. Verify the HPA can read the metric: check HPA status and events
