We had the very same issue with kube-dns not that long ago, have you considered running prometheus against your cluster ?

You can leverage the power of the kubernetes services to make viable monitoring along automatic discovery for new metrics/services.

We're using it for some time on three different clusters (kubernetes, aws and bare metal) and are very pleased with the performances.

Yes, I see prometheus as a step towards a more sophisticated monitoring setup if you consider (and enable) this as a prometheus service. Satellite can push metrics to one of the prometheus servers for all the benefits prometheus provides. So neither is really a replacement - rather a complement. Satellite was born out of immediate need to monitor the cluster as it is being created and definitely appears naive in most other respects - it implements just the bits to do that. So, pairing it with an established solution like prometheus (or InfluxDB, for that matter) is an undeniable benefit.
