How do you configure opentelemetry collectors to use a storageclass for pvcs it creates

[jacobwalters]

I am creating an opentelemetry collector to scrape prometheus metrics in statefulset mode. I am seeing that the operator creates a pvc that the collector pod is going to use. It is creating the pvc with the storageclass "gp2". In our environment we have a custom storageclass. How do I configure the operator or collector to create the pvcs using a different storageclass than gp2.

Hey @jacobwalters, can you clarify: are you are using the opentelemetry-collector chart or opentelemetry-operator chart?

[jacobwalters]

@TylerHelmuth, Im deploying the opentelemetry-collector chart
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-helm-charts/releases/tag/opentelemetry-collector-0.17.0

Are you referring to the opentelemetry operator here?

[jacobwalters]

Im referring to the controller. The controller creating the collector pod is creating a pvc for the collector pod to use, I would like to modify the controller so it creates a pvc with our storageclasses

This issue is with the OpenTelemetryCollector custom resource, managed by the operator. The issue should move to the operator repo.

@jacobwalters Is this still an open question? Can you close the issue, if your question is answered?
Thanks
