Web console

Run the following command to create the search-collector-config config map:

oc apply -f <your-search-collector-config>.yaml

List the resources in the allow (data.AllowedResources) and deny list (data.DeniedResources) sections within the config map. Your config map might resemble the following YAML file:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
 name: search-collector-config
 namespace: <namespace where search-collector add-on is deployed>
data:
 AllowedResources: |- 1
   - apiGroups:
       - "*"
     resources:
       - services
       - pods
   - apiGroups:
       - admission.k8s.io
       - authentication.k8s.io
     resources:
       - "*"
 DeniedResources: |- 2
   - apiGroups:
       - "*"
     resources:
       - secrets
   - apiGroups:
       - admission.k8s.io
     resources:
       - policies
       - iampolicies
       - certificatepolicies

Note: If you do not provide a config map, all resources are collected by default. If you only provide AllowedResources, all resources not listed in AllowedResources are automatically excluded. Resources listed in AllowedResources and DeniedResources at the same time are also excluded.

Customize the search result limit from the OpenShift Container Platform console.

oc patch configmap console-mce-config -n multicluster-engine --type merge -p '{"data":{"SEARCH_RESULT_LIMIT":"100"}}'

To add, edit, or remove suggested searches, create a config map named console-search-config and configure the suggestedSearches section. Suggested searches that are listed are also displayed from the console. It is required to have an id, name, and searchText for each search object. View the following config map example:

kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: console-search-config
  namespace: <acm-namespace> 1
data:
  suggestedSearches: |-
    [
      {
        "id": "search.suggested.workloads.name",
        "name": "Workloads",
        "description": "Show workloads running on your fleet",
        "searchText": "kind:DaemonSet,Deployment,Job,StatefulSet,ReplicaSet"
      },
      {
        "id": "search.suggested.unhealthy.name",
        "name": "Unhealthy pods",
        "description": "Show pods with unhealthy status",
        "searchText": "kind:Pod status:Pending,Error,Failed,Terminating,ImagePullBackOff,CrashLoopBackOff,RunContainerError,ContainerCreating"
      },
      {
        "id": "search.suggested.createdLastHour.name",
        "name": "Created last hour",
        "description": "Show resources created within the last hour",
        "searchText": "created:hour"
      },
      {
        "id": "search.suggested.virtualmachines.name",
        "name": "Virtual Machines",
        "description": "Show virtual machine resources",
        "searchText": "kind:VirtualMachine"
      }
    ]

Type a word in the Search box, then Search finds your resources that contain that value.

Edit the ManagedClusterAddon custom resource from the namespace matching the managed cluster name. Run the following command to update the resource requirement in xyz managed cluster:

oc edit managedclusteraddon search-collector -n xyz

Append the resource requirements as annotations. View the following example:

apiVersion: addon.open-cluster-management.io/v1alpha1
kind: ManagedClusterAddOn
metadata:
  annotations: addon.open-cluster-management.io/search_memory_limit: 2048Mi
  addon.open-cluster-management.io/search_memory_request: 512Mi
