Kube-state-metrics: Export readiness and liveness metrics

[okke-formsma]

/kind feature
Currently there is no way to monitor liveness and readiness probe failures using kube-state-metrics. I would very much like to be able to see these for every pod.

The kubelet has the /metrics/probes path, which exposes the results of probes. Given that's where the metrics originate that's also a better place that kube-state-metrics :slightly_smiling_face: .

@brancz Can you please elaborate on this? We are currently using Datadog with our k8s cluster and the dd-agent does not seem to get this metric.

[brancz]

I know nothing about the datadog agent so I can’t say why. I see them in Prometheus :)

@brancz: Can you please share how to configure prometheus.yml to get these probe metrics ?

[adamjk-dev]

+1 @brancz Can you elaborate on how you are finding the liveness/readiness probes via Promtheus? I have the same interest and am not finding the metrics as is. Maybe this depends on the version of k8s/kube-state-metrics/prometheus or the configuration. Thanks!

This is a good requirement which is needed to be available to show on Prometheus Dashboard using Grafana. Couldnt find any Grafana dashboard or Prometheus command to show this.

These metrics already exist on the kubelet endpoint /metrics/probes, which I think is where it belongs.

[acannon828]

@brancz What are the metric names in Prometheus that you're seeing?
