### 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))

public class GcFinalizationTest extends TestCase {

- 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))

- A new kubelet metric `image_pull_duration_seconds` was added. The metric tracks the duration (in seconds) it takes for an image to be pulled, including the time spent in the waiting queue of image puller. The metric is broken down by bucketed image size. ([#121719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121719), [@ruiwen-zhao](https://github.com/ruiwen-zhao))

- 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]

- Component owner can configure the allowlist of metric label with flag '--allow-metric-labels'. ([#99385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99385), [@YoyinZyc](https://github.com/YoyinZyc)) [SIG API Machinery, CLI, Cloud Provider, Cluster Lifecycle, Instrumentation and Release]

  /**
   * Returns the number of bytes required to encode these headers using HTTP/1.1. This is also the
   * approximate size of HTTP/2 headers before they are compressed with HPACK. This value is
   * intended to be used as a metric: smaller headers are more efficient to encode and transmit.
   */
  fun byteCount(): Long {
    // Each header name has 2 bytes of overhead for ': ' and every header value has 2 bytes of
    // overhead for '\r\n'.

  
  - `apiserver_authentication_config_controller_last_config_info` metric after successfully loading the authentication configuration file.
  - `apiserver_authorization_config_controller_last_config_info` metric after successfully loading the authorization configuration file.

- 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]
