helm chart: ServiceMonitor is not created

[stefanpinterBE]

hi!

i tried installing snmp exporter via helm chart to make it work with prometheus-operator. for that I fetched the values with "helm show values" and set this to true and set the namespace to "default"

serviceMonitor:
  enabled: false
  namespace: monitoring

helm install doesn't show any errors... it just seems to ignore that I enabled the serviceMonitor

I suppose i need some other settings but I did not find an easy template for doing that sadly

is this a bug or did I do it completly wrong?

thank you!

What device/snmpwalk OID are you using?

none yet

If this is a new device, please link to the MIB(s).

yes and no

What did you do that produced an error?

running this helm upgrade --install snmpexporter -f prometheus-operator/prometheus-snmp-exporter.config.yaml prometheus-community/prometheus-snmp-exporter --debug

What did you expect to see?

seeing snmp exporter in ServiceMonitors

What did you see instead?

the default servicemonitors installed by prometheus-operator helm chart

ah, it is working now! it created the ServiceMonitor resource now. i realized, that the ServiceMonitor configuration is until the end of the values file and I didn't realize that before...

so basically this is my dummy config that made it work

serviceMonitor:
  enabled: true
  namespace: default
  path: /snmp
  scrapeTimeout: 10s
  module:
    - if_mib
  additionalMetricsRelabels: {}
  selector:
    release: prometheus
  honorLabels: true

  params:
    - name: localhost                 # Human readable URL that will appear in Prometheus / AlertManager
      target: 127.0.0.1               # The target that snmp will scrape
      module:                         # Module used for scraping. Overrides value set in `serviceMonitor.module`
        - if_mib
      labels: {}                      # Map of labels for ServiceMonitor. Overrides value set in `serviceMonitor.selector`
      interval: 30s                   # Scraping interval. Overrides value set in `serviceMonitor.interval`
      scrapeTimeout: 30s              # Scrape timeout. Overrides value set in `serviceMonitor.scrapeTimeout`
      relabelings: []                 # MetricRelabelConfigs to apply to samples before ingestion. Overrides value set in `serviceMonitor.relabelings`
      additionalMetricsRelabels: {}   # Map of metric labels and values to add
