Description of problem: When upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4, with persistent monitoring enabled per instructions via: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.3/monitoring/cluster_monitoring/configuring-the-monitoring-stack.html In the template : data: config.yaml: | prometheusK8s: volumeClaimTemplate: metadata: name: <PVC_name_prefix> if PVC_name_prefix is anything other then "prometheus-k8s-db", on upgrade to 4.4, results in complete data reset for prometheus data. This occurs because the updated crd for prometheuses.monitoring.coreos.com no longer accepts the values in the metadata object, and ignores them. In turn a new pvc is created (with no data), using the default prefix above. Previous pvc are retained, but obviously aren't used, so would require some sort of data migration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.3. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy 4.3 cluster with prometheus and set a PVC_name_prefix per the documentation. 2. Upgrade to 4.4 3. Lose PVC Actual results: PVC lost Expected results: PVC not lost Additional info:
