Kubernetes module

edit

This module fetches metrics from Kubernetes kubelet agent and kube-state-metrics service.

All metricsets with the state_ prefix require hosts field pointing to kube-stat-metrics service within the cluster, while the rest should be pointed to kubelet service. Check the example configuration on how to do it.
