+<1> Exposes the Prometheus port from the collector pod and service. You can enable scraping of metrics by Prometheus by using the port name in `ServiceMonitor` or `PodMonitor` custom resource.
+<2> The network endpoint where the metrics are exposed.
+<3> The server-side TLS configuration. Defines paths to TLS certificates.
+<4> If set, exports metrics under the provided value. No default.
+<5> Key-value pair labels that are applied for every exported metric. No default.
+<6> If `true`, metrics are exported using the OpenMetrics format. Exemplars are only exported in the OpenMetrics format and only for histogram and monotonic sum metrics such as `counter`. Disabled by default.
+<7> If `enabled` is `true`, all the resource attributes are converted to metric labels by default. Disabled by default.
+<8> Defines how long metrics are exposed without updates. The default is `5m`.
