OpenShift 3.11 has a builtin Prometheus/Alertmanager/Grafana Stack, which is managed by an Operator. The default Prometheus settings are written in a secret called prometheus-k8s
.
I'd like to know how to edit this configuration without the hassle of exporting it, decoding the base64, encoding it again and re-creating the secret, only in risk that the Operator resets the secret to its default setting.
Is the configuration considered to be editable by Red Hat at all, or should i rather deploy my own Prometheus? Or is there a means to extend this secret with my own configuration?
