You can also query for the value of a specific metric using `kubectl`:
```bash
kubectl get --raw "/apis/external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/namespaces/YOUR_NAMESPACE/YOUR_METRIC_NAME"
kubectl get --raw "/apis/external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/namespaces/YOUR_NAMESPACE/YOUR_METRIC_NAME?labelSelector=scaledobject.keda.sh%2Fname%3D{SCALED_OBJECT_NAME}"
```

At this point, you should take in consideration that KEDA metrics are namespaced, this means that you have to specify the namespace where the `ScaledObject` is placed inside.

For example, if you want to get the value of the metric named `s1-rabbitmq-queueName2` in namespace `sample-ns`, the query will be like this:
For example, if you want to get the value of the metric named `s1-rabbitmq-queueName2`, that is used by ScaledObject named `my-scaled-object` in namespace `sample-ns`, the query will be like this:

## How to get metric when multiple ScaledObjects have the same metric name

KEDA will try to select the proper `ScaledObject` for your metric and there should only be one. In case of having multiple `ScaledObject`s in the same namespace with the same metric name, an error like this will be thrown:

```
Error from server: exactly one ScaledObject should match label
```

In this case, you should add in the query string the `labelSelector` to match the proper `ScaledObject` (in url format). The needed selector is `scaledobject.keda.sh/name: {ScaledObjectName}`. You can achieve this as following:

```bash
kubectl get scaledobject SCALEDOBJECT_NAME -n NAMESPACE -o jsonpath={.metadata.labels}
```

Once you have the selector, you have to add it to your query string as following:

```bash
kubectl get --raw "/apis/external.metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/namespaces/sample-ns/s1-rabbitmq-queueName2?labelSelector=scaledobject.keda.sh%2Fname%3D{ScaledObjectName}"
```
