07/10/2025, 9:57 AMHi all,
Anyone has some idea how to resolve the following challange;
We deploy RKE2 clusters using Rancher using some user specific configuration in the rke2-charts (e.g. rke2-cilium), like enabling metrics with ServiceMonitors. But in our case the ServiceMonitor CRD is still missing when RKE2 installs Cilium, and thus this installation fails.
I've tried to use a HelmChart via the Additional Manifests, but it appears that these are only run after the initial bootstrap. Any idea how I can install the ServiceMonitor CRD before the helm-install-cilium Job is started?

So I’m basically looking for a way to install the ServiceMonitor CRD. I’ve tried to use the additional manifests installing the HelmChart from Prometheus-operator-crds. But these are only applied after the rke2-cilium chart, but that one fails because the ServiceMonitor CRD is missing.

07/10/2025, 5:12 PMBecause I only see the options to set chart values (the rke2-* charts) or additional chart (which can be any resource).
