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.

yamlcopydownload
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.

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

2. Add the secret to the custom properties.

   yamlcopydownload
   customProperties:
       valueFrom: <customproperties-secret>
