I have installed the one-click app “Prometheus Kubernetes”, with it came an ever so nice stack of software that I am very thankful for, however I have some additional metrics that I would like to be scraped. I am however lost in all of the configmappers that the app installs. I have so far searched the configmaps:
- configmap/prometheus-operator-prometheus
- configmap/prometheus-prometheus-operator-prometheus-rulefiles-0
- configmap/prometheus-operator-prometheus
- configmap/prometheus-operator-pod-totoal
- configmap/prometheus-operator-pod-total
for the “scrape_configs” string, but could not find any.

The trick is that this app installs prometheus-operator, which is a separate project. It’s github account provides documentation for the project, in which you can find the description for adding scrape configs.
I made a little bash script in order to search the configmaps:
confs=$(
kubectl get configmaps -n prometheus-operator |
grep "prometheus" |
awk -F " " '{print $1}'
)
for conf_name in $confs
do
echo "Looking at $conf_name"
kubectl get -n prometheus-operator configmap/$conf_name -o yaml | grep scrape
done
However this gave no result, so clearly the scrape_configs is in a configmap.
