Enabling Annotation Emission
If interested in filtering or aggregating by Kubernetes Annotations when using the Allocation API, you will need to enable annotation emission. This will configure your Kubecost installation to generate the
kube_pod_annotations and kube_namespace_annotations metrics as listed here.You can enable it in your
values.yaml:kubecostMetrics:
emitPodAnnotations: true
emitNamespaceAnnotations: true
Or enable it via your
helm install or helm upgrade command:helm upgrade -i kubecost kubecost/cost-analyzer \
--namespace kubecost \
--set kubecostMetrics.emitNamespaceAnnotations=true \
--set kubecostMetrics.emitPodAnnotations=true
These flags can be set independently. Setting one of these to true and the other to false will omit one and not the other.
