      Enabling Cluster Monitoring Declaratively in Akuity Platform

      To Activate Cluster Monitoring Using a Declarative Approach in AKP

      To enable monitoring for a specific cluster in the Akuity Platform, use the declarative approach by setting the multiClusterK8sDashboardEnabled field under the spec.data section of the Cluster resource definition.

      This option enables cluster-level monitoring features such as metrics and dashboards for the specified cluster.

      apiVersion: argocd.akuity.io/v1alpha1
      kind: Cluster
      metadata:
        name: my-cluster
        namespace: akuity
      spec:
        data:
          appReplication: false
          autoUpgradeDisabled: false
          datadogAnnotationsEnabled: false
          eksAddonEnabled: false
          kustomization:
            apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
            kind: Kustomization
            patches:
            - patch: |
                apiVersion: apps/v1
                ...
          multiClusterK8sDashboardEnabled: true  # Enables monitoring
          redisTunneling: false
          size: small
          targetVersion: 0.5.58

      Once this manifest is applied, monitoring is activated for the specified cluster via the multi-cluster Kubernetes dashboard integration.

      For further kustomization, consider reviewing the cluster specification documentation on the Akuity Docs site.
