Prometheus config to only look for pods in specific namespaces and not use ClusterScope?

[Klavs Klavsen]

How can I make Prometheus not try to use ClusterScope detection and only discover in specific namespaces?

I am running this config:

```

global:

  evaluation_interval: 1m

  scrape_interval: 1m

  scrape_timeout: 10s

rule_files:

- /etc/config/recording_rules.yml

- /etc/config/alerting_rules.yml

scrape_configs:

- job_name: prometheus

  static_configs:

  - targets:

    - localhost:9090

- job_name: kubernetes-pods

  kubernetes_sd_configs:

  - role: pod

    namespaces:

      names:

      - api-testns1

      - api-testns2

  relabel_configs:

  - action: keep

```

But Prometheus is still trying to discover pods using ClusterScope, as I'm getting this error in prometheus server pod:

 Failed to list *v1.Pod: pods is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:api-testmon:prom-server-api-testmon\" cannot list pods at the cluster scope: no RBAC policy matched

I get this error - even if I remove the -job_name: kubernetes-pods entirely.. so maybe its something else in prometheus, that needs disabling?
