### Steps to reproduce

  1.  crc config set memory 14336
  2.  crc setup
  3.  crc start -p C:\Utilities\OpenShift\crc-windows-1.18.0-amd64\pull-secret -m 14336
  4.  oc get clusterversion version -ojsonpath='{range .spec.overrides[*]}{.name}{"\n"}{end}' | % {$nl++;"`t$($nl-1) `t $_"};$nl=0 

When i try to get the cluster version as described in the documentation i get this error:
PS C:\Users\mcdon> oc get clusterversion version -ojsonpath='{range .spec.overrides[*]}{.name}{"\n"}{end}' | % {$nl++;"`t$($nl-1) `t $_"};$nl=0
error: error parsing jsonpath {range .spec.overrides[*]}{.name}{\n}{end}, unrecognized character in action: U+005C '\'

### Expected
I expected to get a list of values

### Actual
I get the error. 

I am trying to get metrics working in code ready containers so that I can use the horizontal auto scaling feature. I get the error above.

If i remove the {"\n"} value i can see the list and can deduce that cluster-monitoring-operator would have index 0

PS C:\Users\mcdon> oc get clusterversion version -ojsonpath='{range .spec.overrides[*]}{.name}{end}' | % {$nl++;"`t$($nl-1) `t $_"};$nl=0
        0        cluster-monitoring-operatormachine-config-operatoretcd-quorum-guardmachine-api-operatorcluster-autoscaler-operatorinsights-operatorprometheus-k8scloud-credential-operatorcsi-snapshot-controller-operatorcluster-storage-operatorkube-storage-version-migrator-operator

Then if i run the next command this fails as well. 

PS C:\Users\mcdon> oc patch clusterversion/version --type='json' -p '[{"op":"remove", "path":"/spec/overrides/0"}]'
The request is invalid

Therefore i dont know how to get metrics and autoscaling working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am following the documentation here : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_codeready_containers/1.17/html/getting_started_guide/administrative-tasks_gsg#starting-monitoring-alerting-telemetry_gsg

### Logs

Before gather the logs try following if that fix your issue
```bash
$ crc delete -f
$ crc cleanup
$ crc setup
$ crc start --log-level debug

This did not fix the issue

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround to get metrics enabled so we can try horizontal scalability based on CPU usage?

[neodingo]

Came here because I am having the exact same issue. I'm suspecting that the documentation is bad as there were a few other things that needed me to change them about before they would work right. Some of the tour/tutorial bits are no longer accurate/working as well.

[kowen-rh]

@neodingo Would you mind explaining what you needed to change in order to work? I'm trying to address the documentation and would appreciate any input that you have. :)

[neodingo]

@robin-owen Definitely, happy to help, I'll be spinning up another instance tomorrow as part of helping a friend get acquainted to OpenShift for his new job so I'll add his eyes to the mix so I don't miss anything. I'd do it today but the wife/child are a bit under the weather so I'm on nurse duty till the plague tests come back.

Edit: I'll also get a much more complete diagnostic dump while I'm at it. The system I ran into that same error upon has had a re-install since last night for completely unrelated reasons (new nvme drive arrived, fresh install).

[patrickmcdonogh]

The instructions which we are following that give this error are in the "Getting Started Guide" in Chapter 6. Administrative tasks

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_codeready_containers/1.17/html/getting_started_guide/administrative-tasks_gsg#starting-monitoring-alerting-telemetry_gsg

If you look at Procedure and Windows there is this command to get a list of operators
PS> oc get clusterversion version -ojsonpath='{range .spec.overrides[*]}{.name}{"\n"}{end}' | % {$nl++;"t$($nl-1) t $_"};$nl=0

Then this command to turn on metrics
$ oc patch clusterversion/version --type='json' -p '[{"op":"remove", "path":"/spec/overrides/"}]'
clusterversion.config.openshift.io/version patched

Neither of these work on windows 10.

We are trying to get metrics so we can use horizontal pod auto scaling

[adrianriobo]

It seems there is a problem with escaped characters. Can you try escaping ", like this:

oc get clusterversion version -ojsonpath='{range .spec.overrides[*]}{.name}{\"\n\"}{end}' | % {$nl++;"`t$($nl-1) `t $_"};$nl=0

Then pick the index from the output and substitute from the next command:

oc patch clusterversion/version --type='json' -p '[{\"op\":\"remove\", \"path\":\"/spec/overrides/<cluster-monitoring-operator-index>\"}]'

This should work

@patrickmcdonogh can you verify the solution? Documentation changes have been made
