In a pursuit to monitor our Kubernetes Cluster we often need the right set of tools to capture, the right metrics. Kube-State-Metrics is an open-source light-weight utility used to monitor the Kubernetes Cluster. As the name suggests, it provides information about the state of a couple of Kubernetes objects by listening to Kubernetes API.

As we already, know Kube-state-metrics is Prometheus friendly let's get started with scrapping the Kube-State-metrics with Prometheus. Assuming that you have already installed on Prometheus on your cluster, you can use the above Prometheus Configuration to start scraping metrics.
