Annotations

This feature is only available in Standard Control Plane.

Annotations let you specify which Pods to observe (create metrics for).

To enable it, specify enableAnnotations=true in Retina's Standard Control Plane helm installation or ConfigMap.

You can then add the annotation retina.sh: observe to either:

  • individual Pods
  • Namespaces (to observe all the Pods in the namespace).

Note 1: If you enable Annotations, you cannot use the MetricsConfiguration CRD to specify which Pods to observe.

Note 2: Currently the DNS plugin does not consider annotations when generating DNS metrics, so it generates metrics for all pods.
