Thanks for this 👍

The main thing is the desired error behaviour -
I believe that when there's a failure with one of the enabled collectors, we should always exit with an error, irrespective of the config.ExitError option. That option/flag is meant to configure whether there should be an error when issues are found - i.e. kubent operates successfully, but has found some deprecated resources. If we fail to operate successfully, we should always exit with error.

So in this case, I would error always, irrespective of that flag.

Some minor comments in the code on implementation and the logging bit.

Plus can we cover this with a test? Perhaps it could be another one in

I think this is good, just 2 minor nitpicks in code.

But I realised one thing - when looking at the tests. I think the test is good, but I was also thinking it might be good to cover the two scenarios from #450:
a) Nonexisting/wrong cluster endpoint
b) Malformed kubeconfig

And I realised that we probably only cover half of the issue. The 2nd b) failure does not seem to come from getCollectors, but rather from the initCollectors:

	initCollectors := initCollectors(config)

Happy to leave the init bit for another PR, and we probably should for the sake of getting this in, but just to be aware we're fixing just half of the scenarios from #450.

Hi @dark0dave, you want to get this in?

I'm happy with the code 👍, there's just one test failing (I believe it's just the return code 200 -> 100). Cheers 🎉
