- Added `ephemeral_volume_controller_create[_failures]_total` counters to kube-controller-manager metrics ([#99115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99115), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Storage]

- There is a new pv_collector_total_pv_count metric that counts persistent volumes by the volume plugin name and volume mode. ([#95719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95719), [@tsmetana](https://github.com/tsmetana)) [SIG Apps, Instrumentation, Storage and Testing]

  - network_plugin_operations_latency_microseconds ([#83841](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83841), [@RainbowMango](https://github.com/RainbowMango)) [SIG Network and Node]
- Kube-apiserver metrics will now include request counts, latencies, and response sizes for /healthz, /livez, and /readyz requests. ([#83598](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83598), [@jktomer](https://github.com/jktomer)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Added field `.status.uncountedTerminatedPods` to the Job resource. This field is used by the job controller to keep track of finished pods before adding them to the Job status counters. Pods created by the job controller get the finalizer `batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking`

- The Job controller now considers sidecar container restart counts when removing pods. ([#124952](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124952), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Apps and CLI]

- The `goroutines` metric is newly added in the scheduler. 
  It replaces `scheduler_goroutines` metric and it counts the number of goroutine in more places than `scheduler_goroutine` does. ([#112003](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112003), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]

- New plugin_evaluation_total is added to the scheduler.This metric counts how many times the specific plugin affects the scheduling result. The metric does not get incremented when the plugin has nothing to do with an incoming Pod. ([#115082](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115082), [@sanposhiho](https://...

  ([#81210](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81210), [@figo](https://github.com/figo))
- kubelet now exports an `kubelet_evictions` metric that counts the number of pod evictions carried out by the kubelet to reclaim resources ([#81377](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/81377), [@sjenning](https://github.com/sjenning))

### Removed metrics

- The kube-proxy `sync_proxy_rules_no_endpoints_total` metric now only counts local-traffic-policy services which have remote endpoints but not local endpoints. ([#109782](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109782), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship))

- When feature gate `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` is enabled:
  - Limit the number of Pods tracked in a single Job sync to avoid starvation of small Jobs.
  - The metric `job_pod_finished_total` counts the number of finished Pods tracked by the Job controller. ([#105197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105197), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))
