Add a custom properties file

As part of getting started with Kubernetes Platform 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]
      ...

Reference the custom properties file from a secret

  1. 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>

  2. Add the secret to the custom properties.

    customProperties:
        valueFrom: <customproperties-secret>
