Afternoon, folks!

I am running Goldilocks 4.10.1 and VPA 1.0.0 (only vpa-recommender enabled). Please consider the following VPA object:

Please consider the following goldilocks-dashboard running configuration

    Command:
      /goldilocks
      dashboard
      --exclude-containers=bla
      -v2

When I check the Goldilocks dashboard, the istio-proxy container is not shown. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

By default in the values file we exclude those containers. You can override it here https://github.com/FairwindsOps/charts/blob/e19ce64430ad71adedf93fd6438f4de1770326f1/stable/goldilocks/values.yaml#L116

@sudermanjr I have this disabled, my running config is the following:

    Command:
      /goldilocks
      dashboard
      --exclude-containers=bla
      -v2

[sudermanjr]

Ah, my bad, didn't see that part. No idea what might cause that. The logs or the goldilocks summary command might reveal more.
