kube-state-metrics listens to the Kubernetes API server and generates metrics about the status of different resources. It is used to obtain metrics of various resource objects in the Kubernetes cluster, such as Deployments, DaemonSets, Nodes, and Pods. This topic describes the common metrics of kube-state-metrics. To view all metrics, go to VKE monitoring metrics.

Volcengine Managed Service for Prometheus (VMP) classifies the metrics reported by VKE clusters into the following types: basic metrics, other metrics, and custom metrics. Billing methods vary based on different metric types. For more details, see Billing items.
