- `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.

- 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))

- 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]

- 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))

- 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.

func (m *batchJobMetrics) report(jobID string) (metrics *madmin.BatchJobMetrics) {
	metrics = &madmin.BatchJobMetrics{CollectedAt: time.Now(), Jobs: make(map[string]madmin.JobMetric)}
	m.RLock()
	defer m.RUnlock()

	if jobID != "" {
		if job, ok := m.metrics[jobID]; ok {
			metrics.Jobs[jobID] = job.metric()
		}
		return metrics
	}

	for id, job := range m.metrics {
		metrics.Jobs[id] = job.metric()
	}

- resource metrics endpoint `/metrics/resource/v1alpha1` as well as all metrics under this endpoint have been deprecated. Please convert to the following metrics emitted by endpoint `/metrics/resource`:
  - scrape_error --> scrape_error
  - node_cpu_usage_seconds_total --> node_cpu_usage_seconds

	startTime := time.Now()
	return func() {
		duration := time.Since(startTime)

		atomic.AddUint64(&o.operations[s], 1)
		o.latency[s].add(duration)
	}
}

// incTime will increment time on metric s with a specific duration.
func (o *osMetrics) incTime(s osMetric, d time.Duration) {
	atomic.AddUint64(&o.operations[s], 1)
	o.latency[s].add(d)
}

- 'Promoted `cronjob_job_creation_skew` metric to stable to follow the cronjob v2 controller,
  the following metrics had their name updated to match metrics API guidelines:
    - `cronjob_job_creation_skew_duration_seconds` -> `job_creation_skew_duration_seconds`.' ([#113008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113008), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh))
