The CloudZero agent for Kubernetes requires you to allowlist the labels and annotations that you would like to use in the CloudZero platform.

This is an advanced configuration setting. Refer to the Advanced Configuration section of the documentation to get started.

⚠️
CloudZero limits you to 300 Kubernetes labels and annotations in the platform. Enabling any more than 300 will result in extra labels and annotations being dropped.
Annotations and labels on resources other than pods are only supported in CloudZero agent versions post-1.0.0.

Add labels

The steps to add labels follow:

Add the following to your values.yaml file and re-deploy.

insightsController:
  labels:
    # -- This value MUST be set to a list of regular expressions which will be used to gather labels from pods, deployments, statefulsets, daemonsets, cronjobs, jobs, nodes, and namespaces
    patterns:
    #    By default, only the app.kubernetes.io/component label is captured. Use the examples below to add others.
      - 'app.kubernetes.io/component'
    # - '^foo' -- Match all labels whose key starts with "foo"
    # - 'bar$' -- Match all labels whose key ends with "bar"
    # -- Labels are gathered from pods and namespaces by default.
    # -- Other supported resource types are: deployments, statefulsets, nodes, jobs, cronjobs, daemonsets
    resources:
      pods: true
      namespaces: true

Re-deploy the Agent with your updated values file.

helm upgrade --install cloudzero \
    --repo https://cloudzero.github.io/cloudzero-charts cloudzero-agent \
    --namespace cloudzero --create-namespace -f values.yaml

Add annotations

Add the following to your values.yaml file and re-deploy.

insightsController:
  annotations:
    # -- By default, annotations are not captured. Set enabled:true to capture them.
    enabled: true
    # -- This value MUST be set to a list of regular expressions which will be used to gather annotations from pods, deployments, statefulsets, daemonsets, cronjobs, jobs, nodes, and namespaces
    patterns:
     - '.*' # -- Capture all annotations
    # -- Other supported resource types are: deployments, statefulsets, nodes, jobs, cronjobs, daemonsets
    resources:
      pods: true
      namespaces: true

Re-deploy the Agent with your updated values file.

helm upgrade --install cloudzero \
    --repo https://cloudzero.github.io/cloudzero-charts cloudzero-agent \
    --namespace cloudzero --create-namespace -f values.yaml
