kube_namespace_labels metrics missing

[Mapmo]

Name and Version

bitnami/kube-metrics 4.0.4

What architecture are you using?

amd64

What steps will reproduce the bug?

On Kubernetes cluster with rke2 v1.29.0, the Prometheus metrics kube_namespace_labels disappeared after upgrading to the latest kube-prometheus version. Other Kube metrics are still getting collected as before. The namespace labels were not changed and are still there.

Are you using any custom parameters or values?

Not updating anything related to kube-metrics when deploying the helm chart

What is the expected behavior?

Seeing metrics for kube_namespace_labels

What do you see instead?

Not seeing them

Hi @Mapmo,

Thank you for using Bitnami. It seems that's expected from version 2.10.x

Thank you @jotamartos . So this is an intended functionality that makes newer version non-backward compatible with older versions?

It seems they change the way the application works. You can create an issue in their repos to get more information about the change.

Okay, thank you very much
