Add a custom properties file

As part of getting started with Kubernetes monitoring, you might want to add a custom properties file.

You can add a custom properties file by providing it as a value or by referencing it from a secret.

Add the custom properties file as a value

To add the custom properties file as a value, see the example below.

customProperties:
    value: |
      [kubernetes_monitoring]
      ...

Create a secret with the following content.

The content of the secret has to be base64 encoded in order to work.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: <customproperties-secret>
namespace: dynatrace
data:
customProperties: <base64 encoded properties>

Add the secret to the custom properties.

customProperties:
    valueFrom: <customproperties-secret>
