Is there any way to preconfigure the Prometheus Address for Kotsadm? I’d like to be able to tell Kotsadm programmatically where to look for Prometheus, instead of manually configuring this via the GUI. Is there an env var or ConfigMap that I can set to do this?

Unfortunately this isn’t possible in KOTS today.

If it is not possible through KOTS, are there any alternate approaches for this - like through REST endpoint ?
