System component metrics can give a better look into what is happening inside them. Metrics are particularly useful for building dashboards and alerts. Kubernetes components emit metrics in Prometheus format. This format is structured plain text, designed so that people and machines can both read it. Metrics in Kubernetes In most cases metrics are available on /metrics endpoint of the HTTP server. For components that don't expose endpoint by default, it can be enabled using --bind-address flag.| Kubernetes
