I just tried to update it with:

pmmEnv:
  DISABLE_UPDATES: "1"
  ENABLE_DBAAS: "1"

Any ideas on how this got borked? It was recently just installed yesterday. I haven’t done anything funky after installing.
FYI:
TL;DR
Helm 3, RKE 2 Cluster - installs and works perfectly fine… but can’t update the config once installed.
I’m going to guess I will have issues when updating the Helm Chart for the next version as well…

Hi @voarsh,

I just bumped into this issue this week, so I’m sending this reply in case anyone else is still facing it.
There is a bug in how ENABLE_DBAAS is being handled, so the workaround for now is to not include it in the pmmEnv section of the yaml file we use for the help upgrade.
