I’d like to create a preflight check that alerts users if one-or-more pod exist with the label `component=workspace`. I don’t care about the exact number, just so long as it’s greater than one.
My initial thought was to use Cluster Resources and then search in `/cluster-resources/pods/.json` and then use the JSON compare - however, I can’t see how I can do a `jq` command in there.
I don’t believe I can use the deployment status analyzer as this is a pod that’s created directly (ie, not with a parent deployment/daemonset/statefulset).
I could use a regex command, although that runs the risk of the `"component": "workspace"` not being in the `labels` (that’s a very low chance, but not zero)

not directly related but maybe an interesting conversation to incorporate here [Ability to display informational values from a JSON file or jq query · Issue #731 · replicatedhq/troubleshoot · GitHub](https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/issues/731)
