Hey @Hronom! This is definitely something on our radar. We have recently published our API docs for Collections which may help you integrate Collections into your GitOps workflow while we develop a helm values driven approach to Collection

@kwombach12 It would be great, if the collections could also be provided outside of Helm values by pointing the chart to an existing configmap (or even better to collect configmaps with a certain label and mounting those, e.g. like the Grafana and Prometheus Chart do this using sidecars). This would allow a platform team to just add configmaps to the namespace without having to hardcode these things in a single values file.

@Jeinhaus totally makes sense. We have this on our roadmap!

@kwombach12 This would also be great to have for the Reports that can be configured via Helm values.

Useful for us too. We have no persistence, so any config made must be done via helm/configmaps
