Add custom Labels and Annotations to Kubernetes resources

Add custom Labels and Annotations to all resources deployed by Kubernetes Visibility Agent in the Kubernetes cluster.

Before you begin

Role required: none

Procedure

  1. Do one of the following:

    • When using a Helm chart, in the Helm install command, add the custom attributes to the values.yaml file.

      Use the format shown in this example:

      --set commonLabels.mylabel1=value1 --set commonLabels.mylabel2=value2 --set commonAnnotations.myannotation1=value3.

    • When using the k8s_informer.yaml file, add custom Labels and Annotations manually to the relevant resources in the file. Note:

    Label and Annotation names must be alphanumeric and contain no spaces or special characters. For limitations on Label values, see the Kubernetes documentation.
