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

The custom properties file is applied to the ActiveGate. For general ActiveGate configuration, see Configure ActiveGate.

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 secret must be in the same namespace as the Dynatrace Operator (for example,dynatrace).

    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>
