It's said in description

Generally `kube-state-metrics` runs a `Deployment` and is accessible via a service called `kube-state-metrics` on `kube-system` namespace, which will be the service to use in our configuration.

But when you push button Add Kubernetes integration u see settings  
address - kube-state-metrics:8080

Is it expected that elastic stack should be deployed in kube-system namespace or what ?

and btw what is Bearer Token File /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token  
will it be created during deploying agents or is it expected to exist in classical k8s ?  
I do not have such file in my rke2 cluster
