+## Add custom Grafana dashboards
+
+Create a ConfigMap with keys as the dashboard file names and values as JSON dashboard. See the following example:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: grafana-dashboards
+  namespace: myapp
+  labels:
+    grafana_dashboard: "true"
+data:
+  grafana-dashboard1.json: |
+    {
+      "annotations": {
+[REDACTED]
+```
+
+Add the label `grafana_dashboard: "true"` so that grafana automatically picks up the dashboards in the ConfigMaps across the cluster.
+
+This can also be done by using the following two imperative commands:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n myapp create cm grafana-dashboards \
+  --from-file=grafana-dashboard1.json \
+  --from-file=grafana-dashboard2.json \
+  --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
+
+kubectl -n myapp label cm grafana-dashboards grafana_dashboard=true
+```
+
+## Add new ServiceMonitors
+
+### Default Prometheus operator setting
+
+Create a ServiceMonitor with the required configuration and make sure to add the following label, so that the prometheus-operator will track it:
+
+```yaml
+metadata:
+  labels:
+    release: prometheus-operator
+```
+
+### Custom Prometheus operator setting
+
+Deploy the prometheus-operator with the following setting, and it watches all ServiceMonitors across the cluster:
+
+```tf
+watch_labeled_service_monitors = "false"
+```
+
+Then there is no need to add any label to ServiceMonitor, at all. Create a ServiceMonitor, and prometheus-operator tracks it.
+
+## Add custom alerts for Alertmanager
+
+### Default Prometheus operator setting
+
+Create a PrometheuRule object with the required configuration and make sure to add the following labels, so that prometheus-operator will track it:
+
+```yaml
+metadata:
+  labels:
+    release: prometheus-operator
+    app: prometheus-operator
+```
+
+### Custom Prometheus operator setting
+
+Deploy the prometheus-operator with the following setting, and it watches all PrometheusRules across the cluster:
+
+```tf
+watch_labeled_prometheus_rules = "false"
+```
+
+Then there is no need to add any label to PrometheusRule, at all. Create a PrometheusRule, and prometheus-operator tracks it.
