Hi Did any one tried scraping Kubernetes cluster using Prometheus hosted outside your k8 cluster?  
Generated token , tested and its working .  
Installed Cadvisor in our clusters along with kube-state-metrics  
I am able to get the annotations and other labels associated with cluster but however the metrics part is missing for all resources (pods, containers. nodes etc)  
cAdvisor and kube-state metrics are installed on the cluster which needs to be scraped.  
'---------------my prometheus.yml -------  
global:  
scrape\_interval: 60s  
scrape\_configs:

- job\_name: ‘prometheus’  
scrape\_interval: 60s

  - targets: [‘localhost:9090’]

- job\_name: ‘kubernetes-apiservers’

Any suggestions are welcome , thanks (edited)
