Chapter 8. Management of cluster-wide configuration for monitoring

Before the JWS Operator 2.3 release, the Operator automatically managed the cluster-wide configuration that is required for the monitoring system. However, from JWS Operator 2.3 onward, users must maintain responsibility for managing the cluster-wide configuration for monitoring.

When using JWS Operator 2.3, you must create a cluster-monitoring-config ConfigMap. To enable monitoring for user-defined projects in the cluster, you must edit the ConfigMap to include an enableUserWorkload entry that is set to true, as shown in the following example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: cluster-monitoring-config
  namespace: openshift-monitoring
data:
  config.yaml: |
    enableUserWorkload: true

For more information about the prerequisites and steps for completing this task, see Configuring user workload monitoring: Enabling monitoring for user-defined projects in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform documentation.
