What would you like to be added?

Hi :),

I initially installed the k8s-monitoring chart from Grafana ([link](https://github.com/grafana/k8s-monitoring-helm/tree/main/charts/k8s-monitoring)) for monitoring purposes. However, I noticed that the metrics are not visible from Lens.

According to the documentation, Lens supports the [Prometheus Community Helm chart](https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts). While both charts deploy the same key components—specifically the kube-state-metrics and node-exporter pods—Freelens only detects them correctly when using the Prometheus Community chart.

I also tried configuring manually to monitor the kube-state-metrics pod, but it still didn’t work as expected in Freelens.

Would it be possible to support auto-discovery scraping mode on k8s-monitoring, so that Lens can recognize the metrics as it does with the other chart?
