I’m running a simple cluster with 4 replicas of the “hello-node” container and I’m trying to get the resources usage, but these statistics remain at zero value. Even when I stress the service with high level of HTTP requests, they don’t change.. what could be the problem?  
How can I get these values properly?

Maybe this can help:
