Creating a user-defined workload monitoring configmap

You can configure the user workload monitoring components with the user-workload-monitoring-config configmap object in the openshift-user-workload-monitoring project. The Cluster Monitoring Operator (CMO) then configures the components that monitor user-defined projects.

Prerequisites

You must have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.
OpenShift command-line interface is required. For more information, see Getting started with the OpenShift CLI.

Procedure

Check if the user-workload-monitoring-config configmap object exists:

oc -n openshift-user-workload-monitoring get configmap user-workload-monitoring-config

If the user-workload-monitoring-config configmap object does not exist:

Create the following YAML manifest. In this example, the file is called user-workload-monitoring-config.yaml:
```
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: user-workload-monitoring-config
  namespace: openshift-user-workload-monitoring
data:
  config.yaml: |
```
- Apply the configuration to create the configmap object:
```
oc apply -f user-workload-monitoring-config.yaml
```
