### Summary API Source
The [Kubelet](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kubelet/) gathers stats at node, volume, pod and container level, and omits
them in the [Summary API](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/7d309e0104fedb57280b261e5677d919cb2a0e2d/staging/src/k8s.io/kubelet/pkg/apis/stats/v1alpha1/types.go)
for consumers to read.
Pre-1.23, these resources have been primarily gathered from [cAdvisor](https://github.com/google/cadvisor). However, in 1.23 with the
introduction of the `PodAndContainerStatsFromCRI` FeatureGate, container and pod level stats can be gathered by the CRI implementation.
Note: this also requires support from the CRI implementations (containerd >= 1.6.0, CRI-O >= 1.23.0).
