Cluster Autoscaler Exporter

Cluster Autoscaler Exporter

A Prometheus Exporter for reporting the last activity of the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler, gathered from the CAS config map. Please note that this exporter is needed only in clusters that don't directly expose CAS metrics (GKE for example), using it otherwise will result in duplicate metrics.

                      Address to listen on for web interface and telemetry.
  --web.telemetry-path="/metrics"
                      Path under which to expose metrics.
