metrics

Fetch metrics directly from Linkerd proxies.

The RESOURCE argument specifies the target resource to query metrics for: (TYPE/NAME)

Examples: * cronjob/my-cronjob * deploy/my-deploy * ds/my-daemonset * job/my-job * po/mypod1 * rc/my-replication-controller * sts/my-statefulset

Valid resource types include: * cronjobs * daemonsets * deployments * jobs * pods * replicasets * replicationcontrollers * statefulsets
