kube-state-metrics is a service that listens to the Kubernetes API server and generates metrics about the state of Kubernetes objects, such as deployments, nodes, and pods. It exports raw, unmodified metrics on the /metrics HTTP endpoint (default port 8080) in plaintext for consumption by Prometheus or compatible scrapers. It focuses on object state rather than component health, and the metrics reflect the current cluster state, with deleted objects disappearing and values that may differ from kubectl outputs due to different heuristics.
