## Description:

The current version of the Helm Chart does not allow scraping of Prometheus metrics. Neither the option to set prometheus annotations or deploy a PodMonitor is included in the Chart.

## Steps to Reproduce:

None, but this is a suggested solution: [K8SPG-632 - Allow podAnnotations via helm values for PG-operator by RobKenis · Pull Request #364 · percona/percona-helm-charts · GitHub](https://github.com/percona/percona-helm-charts/pull/364)

## Version:

2.2.2

## Expected Result:

The option is available to let Prometheus scrape the controller pods of the Postgres operator

I am also wondering if this is the correct way to let Prometheus scrape the controller since the [GitHub - prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator: Prometheus Operator creates/configures/manages Prometheus clusters atop Kubernetes](https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator) supports custom resources instead of annotations.

The forum plugin doing the spam filter seems to have reloaded and crashed.  
I think everything’s fine now.
