+### <a name="additionalScrape"></a>Additonal scrape configurations
+
+It is possible to inject externally managed scrape configurations in a ConfigMap by enabling `prometheus.additionalScrapeConfigsExternal`. The ConfigMap must exist in the same namespace when Prometheus is starting. Its name is generated using the `prometheus-operator.prometheus.fullname` template with a `-scrape-config` suffix. The file it contains has to be named `additional-scrape-configs.yaml`.
