+= Excluding a user-defined project from monitoring
+
+Individual user-defined projects can be excluded from user workload monitoring. To do so, simply add the `openshift.io/user-monitoring` label to the project's namespace with a value of `false`.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Add the label to the project namespace:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc label namespace my-project 'openshift.io/user-monitoring=false'
+----
++
+. To re-enable monitoring, remove the label from the namespace:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc label namespace my-project 'openshift.io/user-monitoring-'
+----
++
+[NOTE]
+====
+If there were any active monitoring targets for the project, it may take a few minutes for Prometheus to stop scraping them after adding the label.
