Question
The values.yaml file packaged inside the Platform distribution contains a long section with configuration for the optional Grafana metrics UI. This long section makes working with the file cumbersome. Can this configuration be extracted into a separate file?
Answer
Note: This applies to Ververica Platform 2.0 or later.
There is no actual need to edit the original values.yaml from within the distribution directly. All values, including custom Grafana options, can be individually provided for an override (see custom settings for Helm)
Moreover, you can specify multiple separate files with custom settings when using helm:
helm upgrade --install <YOUR_VVP_RELEASE_NAME> ververica-platform \
--repo https://charts.ververica.com \
--namespace <YOUR_VVP_NAMESPACE> \
--version <YOUR_VVP_VERSION> \
--values values.yaml
--values grafana.yaml
