# feature-cluster-events   Gathers Kubernetes Events The Cluster Events feature enables the collection of Kubernetes events from the cluster. ## How it works Events are captured as logs and are annotated with additional metadata to make them easier to search and filter. ## Testing This chart contains unit tests to verify the generated configuration. The hidden value `deployAsConfigMap` will render the generated configuration into a ConfigMap object. While this ConfigMap is not used during regular operation, you can use it to show the outcome of a given values file. The unit tests use this ConfigMap to create an object with the configuration that can be asserted against. To run the tests, use `helm test`. Be sure perform actual integration testing in a live environment in the main [k8s-monitoring](../..) chart. ## Maintainers | Name | Email | Url | | ---- | ------ | --- | | petewall | | | ## Source Code * ## Values ### Gather settings | Key | Type | Default | Description | |-----|------|---------|-------------| | excludeNamespaces | list | `[]` | List of namespaces to ignore events for. | | logFormat | string | `"logfmt"` | Log format used to forward cluster events.
