I have a running Kubernetes cluster setup and i want to configure a kube-state-metrics on the same. When i am going to create the kube-state-metrics on the cluster POD is not creating and it is failing with CrashLoopBackOff Error.

When I checked the logs of that kube-state-metrics POD I found below:

I0827 10:52:50.095813       1 main.go:87] Using default collectors
I0827 10:52:50.095927       1 main.go:99] Using all namespace

I0827 10:52:50.098367       1 main.go:185] Testing communication with server

I have running kubectl version

and using docker image from quay.io quay.io/coreos/kube-state-metrics:v1.7.2

I did follow the below steps to configure the kube-state-metrics

1. git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics.git

2. cd kube-state-metrics

3. kubectl create -f kubernetes/
