Are HPA configurations captured with out of the box metrics

[ronmacdonald]

I'm looking to dashboard health and scalability of pods for app teams.  I'm having trouble finding HPA configurations such as minReplicas and maxReplicas.  If these are captured, what is the metric name?

Unfortunately, there's a limitation in that regard for HPA metrics in K8s.

Here's some insight regarding this topic.

HPA metrics are available via the kubernetes object state api, see link below.  Per this documentation the min/max replicas is stable.  I'll create an RFE as this would be invaluable for quick glance scale.
