Accessing kube-state-metrics in a Specific Namespace with MonitoringStack

[grigassukys]

Hello,

I’m currently using the Cluster Observability Operator to create a MonitoringStack in my specific namespace. When I navigate to Developer > Observe, I can write PromQL queries and see all the “kube” labels. However, I would like to scrape these metrics using my own instance of Prometheus, which is deployed by the MonitoringStack.

As I understand it, kube-state-metrics is deployed in the openshift-monitoring namespace and provides provides metrics to all namespaces, but only on GUI. My question is, how can I access these metrics in Prometheus within my own namespace? I’m trying to avoid deploying additional instances of kube-state-metrics in each namespace.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
