Configuring feature flags by using ConfigMaps

As an administrator, you can enable or disable selected user interface features in the Concert Operate console by using feature flags. Feature flags are configured through a Kubernetes ConfigMap and control the behavior of specific user interface features and capabilities.

For example, the behavior of the alert context menu depends on the ENABLE_SHARED_ALERT_CONTEXT_MENU feature flag. When the feature flag is enabled, all users see a shared menu structure that is defined by the administrator. When the feature flag is not enabled, each user sees a personalized menu structure.

  1. Locate or create the feature flag ConfigMap in your Concert Operate namespace.
  2. Name the ConfigMap in the following format: 
    feature-flag-configmap
  3. Run the following command to edit the ConfigMap: 
    kubectl edit cm feature-flag-configmap
  4. Add or update the required feature flag in the data section.
    Example ConfigMap with a feature flag enabled:
    kind: ConfigMap
```yaml
metadata:
  name: feature-flag-configmap
data:
  ENABLE_SHARED_ALERT_CONTEXT_MENU: enabled
  5. Save the ConfigMap changes.
  6. Refresh your browser or restart the affected user interface components, if required, to apply the changes.

    When you enable the feature flag, the corresponding user interface feature becomes available to you, subject to administrator‑defined global settings and user permissions.
