Failed to set up resources: resource verticalpodautoscalers does not exist

[andreivaloshyn]

Hello!
After upgrading kube-prometheus-stack helm chart to 48.1.2(kube-state-metrics chart version 5.8.2, app version 2.9.2) I faced with the error

"Failed to run kube-state-metrics" err="failed to set up resources: resource verticalpodautoscalers does not exist. Available resources: replicationcontrollers,services,limitranges,jobs,replicasets,storageclasses,cronjobs,roles,leases,ingresses,networkpolicies,persistentvolumes,poddisruptionbudgets,resourcequotas,rolebindings,configmaps,endpoints,deployments,endpointslices,namespaces,persistentvolumeclaims,secrets,statefulset...

verticalpodautoscalers CRD is fine:

I also updated ClusterRole with

  - verbs:
      - list
      - watch
    apiGroups:
      - autoscaling.k8s.io
    resources:
      - verticalpodautoscalers

Do you have a custom resource state config for VPAs created? The VPA resource that ksm carried with was deprecated a couple of releases ago and removed in 2.9.x

Hello @gnufied
I have no custom resources, if it related to https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/blob/main/docs/customresourcestate-metrics.md
I guess I use default config:

          image: registry.k8s.io/kube-state-metrics/kube-state-metrics:v2.9.2
          args:
            - '--port=8080'
            - >-
              --resources=certificatesigningrequests,configmaps,cronjobs,daemonsets,deployments,endpoints,horizontalpodautoscalers,ingresses,jobs,limitranges,mutatingwebhookconfigurations,namespaces,networkpolicies,nodes,persistentvolumeclaims,persistentvolumes,poddisruptionbudgets,pods,replicasets,replicationcontrollers,resourcequotas,secrets,services,statefulsets,storageclasses,validatingwebhookconfigurations,volumeattachments,verticalpodautoscalers
            - '--metric-labels-allowlist=namespaces=[*]'
          ports:

Seems like I just need to update --resources with deleting verticalpodautoscalers from the list.

just be aware that in this case you won't collect VPA metrics
