📑 Description
ConfigMap analyzer flags operator-managed ConfigMaps as unused because sidecars load them dynamically via label selectors rather than Pod spec references. Affects Grafana dashboards, Prometheus rules, and similar patterns.
Changes:
grafana_dashboard,grafana_datasource,prometheus_rule,fluentd_configk8sgpt.ai/dynamically-loaded: "true"label for custom patternsk8sgpt.ai/skip-usage-check: "true"annotation for explicit opt-outImplementation:
Analyzer now checks these patterns before flagging ConfigMaps, preserving existing detection logic for standard usage.
✅ Checks
ℹ Additional Information
Validated against kube-prometheus-stack: eliminated 29 false positives (28 dashboard + 1 datasource ConfigMaps). Backward compatible - no changes to existing detection behavior.
