 #### Kubernetes monitoring
 
-##### Kubernetes infrastructure monitoring
-
-In `opentelemetry-collector` section uncomment the following to enable the k8s node level monitoring.
-This will enable metrics' collection on node level as well as logs collection from Pods.
-```yml
-mode: "daemonset"
-presets:
-  kubernetesAttributes:
-    enabled: true
-  kubeletMetrics:
-    enabled: true
-  hostMetrics:
-    enabled: true
-  logsCollection:
-    enabled: true
-    includeCollectorLogs: false
-    storeCheckpoints: true
-```
-
-##### Kubernetes Pod autodiscovery
-
-Under `config` section enable the `k8s_observer` with the following:
-
-```yml
-extensions:
-  k8s_observer:
-    auth_type: serviceAccount
-    node: ${env:K8S_NODE_NAME}
-    observe_pods: true
-```
-
-Then under `receivers` section enable the Redis receiver based on an autodiscovery rule:
-
-```yml
-receiver_creator:
-  watch_observers: [ k8s_observer ]
-  receivers:
-    redis:
-      rule: type == "port" && pod.name matches "redis"
-      config:
-        collection_interval: 2s
-```
-
-Under `service` section add the `extensions`:
-
-```yml
-extensions: [k8s_observer]
-```
-
-and register the `receiver_creator` in the `metrics` `receivers` list:
-```yml
-receivers: [otlp, receiver_creator]
-```
+This demo already enables cluster level metrics collection with `clusterMetrics` and
+Kubernetes events collection with `kubernetesEvents`.
+
+In order to add Node level metrics collection and autodiscovery for Redis Pods
+we can run an additional Otel collector Daemonset with the following:
+
+`helm install daemonset open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector --values daemonset.yaml`
