Query Explanation

The rule calculates the error rate of list operations performed by kube‑state‑metrics over the last 5 minutes (error count / total count) per cluster, and fires when this rate exceeds 1 %. If the proportion of list requests that returned an error is greater than 0.01 (1 %) for a cluster, the alert triggers.
