Description

We’re trying to configure parent.configs with different user configuration files for a subset of nodes, to achieve partial rollout of a change in alarm notification settings; we have a big cluster and don’t want to switch on this change in all nodes at once.

Is that possible with chart config options?
Can we patch config for certain nodes if not possible with helm chart?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Helm chart configuration options for parent.configs and how user configuration files are applied to child agent nodes. Determine whether node-specific configuration or patching is supported, and document the available approach or the scope of a chart change needed for partial rollout.
