Chapter 15. Config map reference for the Cluster Monitoring Operator 15.1. Cluster Monitoring Operator configuration reference Parts of OpenShift Container Platform cluster monitoring are configurable. The API is accessible by setting parameters defined in various config maps. To configure monitoring components, edit the ConfigMap object named cluster-monitoring-config in the openshift-monitoring namespace. These configurations are defined by ClusterMonitoringConfiguration . To configure monitoring components that monitor user-defined projects, edit the ConfigMap object named user-workload-monitoring-config in the openshift-user-workload-monitoring namespace. These configurations are defined by UserWorkloadConfiguration . The configuration file is always defined under the config.yaml key in the config map data. Note Not all configuration parameters are exposed. Configuring cluster monitoring is optional. If a configuration does not exist or is empty, default values are used. If the configuration is invalid YAML data, the Cluster Monitoring Operator stops reconciling the resources and reports Degraded=True in the status conditions of the Operator. 15.2.
