[aguerra]

Report

Keda-operator reports the metric keda_scaled_object_paused as 1 for a paused scaled object. After restarting or replacing the keda-operator pod the metric is missing.

Expected Behavior

The reconciliation should be able to detect the paused scaled object and set the corresponding metric keda_scaled_object_paused to 1.

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Pause a scaled object and confirm that the metric keda_scaled_object_paused{scaledObject="my-scaled-object"} is present and equals 1.
2. Restart or replace the keda-operator pod.
3. The metric keda_scaled_object_paused{scaledObject="my-scaled-object"} is missing.
