If prometheus is not installed from kube-prometheus-stack and instead openshift promethus operators were used in that case how to update serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues to false as the metrics are not visible in grafana dashboard

From Documentation
Our Prometheus installation needs to be slightly customised to discover ServiceMonitors by default. Create a values.yaml file with the following configuration:

prometheus:
prometheusSpec:
serviceMonitorSelectorNilUsesHelmValues: true
serviceMonitorSelector: {}
serviceMonitorNamespaceSelector: {}

@ajay15283 the requirements sound reasonable , feel free to pick it up

Hi @chen-keinan Could you please assign this issue to me.

[geoffrey1330]

@ajay15283 if am to get you right. you want the installation process for prometheus in the docs to highlight the configurations when using either kube-prometheus-stack or openshift promethus operators?

[ajay15283]

@geoffrey1330 , yes the document is clear if the prometheus is installed from kube-prometheus-stack and have no specific information for prometheus installed from other options especially if its installed as an operator

[geoffrey1330]

Alright

[geoffrey1330]

Hi @ajay15283 it seems like the process of installing prometheus via prometheus-operator is no longer supported
as stated here
they suggested everyone should make use of the prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack as it has been moved there

[geoffrey1330]

could you please move to the supported approach and close the issue.
