This plugin generates metrics derived from the state of the following Kubernetes resources:
- daemonsets
- deployments
- nodes
- persistentvolumes
- persistentvolumeclaims
- pods (containers)
- statefulsets
This plugin may produce a high number of series which, when not controlled for, will cause high load on your database. Use the following techniques to avoid cardinality issues:
- Use metric filtering options to exclude unneeded measurements and tags.
- Write to a database with an appropriate retention policy.
- Limit series cardinality in your database using the max-series-per-database and max-values-per-tag settings.
- Consider using the Time Series Index.
- Monitor your databases series cardinality.
- Consult the InfluxDB documentation for the most up-to-date techniques.

## URL for the Kubernetes API
url = "https://127.0.0.1"
## Namespace to use. Set to "" to use all namespaces.
# namespace = "default"
## Use bearer token for authorization. ('bearer_token' takes priority)
# bearer_token = "/path/to/bearer/token"
## OR
# bearer_token_string = "abc_123"
## Set response_timeout (default 5 seconds)
# response_timeout = "5s"
## Optional Resources to exclude from gathering
## Leave them with blank with try to gather everything available.
## Values can be - "daemonsets", deployments", "nodes", "persistentvolumes",
## "persistentvolumeclaims", "pods", "statefulsets"
# resource_exclude = [ "deployments", "nodes", "statefulsets" ]
## Optional Resources to include when gathering
## Overrides resource_exclude if both set.
# resource_include = [ "deployments", "nodes", "statefulsets" ]
## Optional TLS Config
# tls_ca = "/path/to/cafile"
# tls_cert = "/path/to/certfile"
# tls_key = "/path/to/keyfile"
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
If using RBAC authorization, you will need to create a cluster role to list "persistentvolumes" and "nodes". You will then need to make an aggregated ClusterRole that will eventually be bound to a user or group.
