The Kubernetes State Core Check is an alternative to Kubernetes State Python Check. It leverages the kube-state-metrics project and extends it to generate Datadog metrics.
The data collected by the checks is documented in kubernetes_state.md. The file shares the same format used for the public documentation to ease the synchronization.
If a code change updates/removes/adds metrics or service checks, please update kubernetes_state.md accordingly.
The public documentation page lives in the DataDog/documentation repo. It needs to be synchronized with kubernetes_state.md on every new release of the Agent.
