You must use Prometheus to collect and query Kube-State-Metrics output. The steps to correctly configure Prometheus to scrape Kube-State-Metrics may vary depending on how you installed Prometheus in your cluster.

Telegraf
Agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics, logs, and other arbitrary data.
Wow, that's massive. I guess it's inevitable that a popular piece of open-source software for end-users will be compelled to accrue dependencies due to popular demand for features that require them.
I feel Telegraf made a good compromise: out of the box, it comes with a _ton_ of stuff[1] to monitor everything, but they make it possible to build only with pieces that you need via build tags, and even provide a tool to extract said tags from your telegraf config[2]. But lots of supply-chain security stuff assume everything in go.mod is used, so that can results in a lot of noise.

tsbs
Time Series Benchmark Suite, a tool for comparing and evaluating databases for time series data
To prove how much better InfluxDB 3.0 performs, we decided to compare it against InfluxDB 1.8 using the Time Series Benchmark Suite (TSBS) originally developed by InfluxData and now maintained, to some extent, by Timescale. Because InfluxDB 3.0 supports InfluxQL and InfluxDB’s line protocol, in theory the test suite for 1.8 should be able to run on the new public alpha. In fact, we did run into several compatibility issues during the testing process and had to find workarounds; this is discussed in the Methodology section below.
