### Added metrics
- Add `scheduler_goroutines` metric to track number of kube-scheduler binding and prioritizing goroutines ([#83535](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83535), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
- Adding initial EndpointSlice metrics. ([#83257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83257), [@robscott](https://github.com/robscott))

- Introduced new apiserver metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_seats`. This metric is analogous to `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_requests`, but tracks the total number of seats, as each request can take more than one seat. ([#119385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119385), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

- Change  `preemption_victims` metric bucket from `LinearBuckets` to `ExponentialBuckets`. ([#112939](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112939), [@lengrongfu](https://github.com/lengrongfu)) [SIG Instrumentation and Scheduling]
- Extend the job `job_finished_total metric by new `reason` label and introduce a new job metric to count pod failures

- HPA controller exposes the following metrics from the kube-controller-manager. 
  - `metric_computation_duration_seconds`: The time(seconds) that the HPA controller takes to calculate one metric.
  - `metric_computation_total`: Number of metric computations. ([#116326](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116326), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Apps, Autoscaling and Instrumentation]

- Fix etcd_object_counts metric reported by kube-apiserver ([#94818](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94818), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem)) [SIG API Machinery]

    Potential impacts:

- Add a metric for time taken to perform recursive permission change ([#95866](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95866), [@JornShen](https://github.com/JornShen)) [SIG Instrumentation and Storage]

- Introduction of a new "sync_proxy_rules_no_local_endpoints_total" proxy metric. This metric represents the number of services with no internal endpoints. The "traffic_policy" label will contain both "internal" or "external". ([#108930](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108930), [@MaxRenaud](https://github.com/MaxRenaud))...

- Implemented `event_handling_duration_seconds` metric, which is the time the scheduler takes to handle each kind of events. ([#125929](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125929), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))

- Metric `running_managed_controllers` is enabled for Cloud Node Lifecycle controller. ([#111033](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111033), [@jprzychodzen](https://github.com/jprzychodzen))
