Creating a role for setting up metrics collection

This procedure shows how to create a role that allows a user to set up metrics collection for a service as described in "Setting up metrics collection".

Procedure

1. Create a YAML file for the new role. In this example, it is called custom-metrics-role.yaml.

2. Fill the file with the configuration for the monitor-crd-edit role:

   kind: ClusterRole
   apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
   metadata:
     name: monitor-crd-edit
   rules:
   - apiGroups: ["monitoring.coreos.com"]
     resources: ["prometheusrules", "servicemonitors", "podmonitors"]
     verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "update", "patch", "delete"]

   This role enables a user to set up metrics collection for services.

3. Apply the configuration file to the cluster:

   $ oc apply -f custom-metrics-role.yaml

   Now the role is created.
