Kube-proxy-metrics

It is highly recommended gathering metrics from kube-proxy as it is a critical piece of any Kubernetes Cluster. Sometimes (especially in managed clusters) it is not possible to configure kube-proxy to expose metrics, this is why this package exists. Another reason to run this exporter instead of just exposing metrics from kube-proxy is the ability to run it independently of the environment, on-premise installed by kubeadm or a managed Kubernetes Cluster.
