I have my Jenkins(2.190.3)(from docker hub) running inside my openshift(3.11) cluster. My Jenkins pod is being run by a jenkins service account user which has the "edit" role in my namespace.

I have the kubernetes plugin(1.21.3) and Openshift sync plugin(1.0.43) installed.

My configMap exist within the same namespace as my Jenkins and has the label role=jenkins-slave set. I have added the configMap to my Jenkins DC and it looks like this:

<org.csanchez.jenkins.plugins.kubernetes.PodTemplate>
      <inheritFrom></inheritFrom>
      <name>dotnetcore22</name>
      <instanceCap>2147483647</instanceCap>
      <idleMinutes>0</idleMinutes>
      <label>dotnetcore22</label>
      <serviceAccount>jenkins</serviceAccount>

      <volumes/>

          <ttyEnabled>false</ttyEnabled>
          <resourceRequestCpu></resourceRequestCpu>
          <resourceRequestMemory></resourceRequestMemory>
          <resourceLimitCpu></resourceLimitCpu>
          <resourceLimitMemory></resourceLimitMemory>
          <envVars/>
        </org.csanchez.jenkins.plugins.kubernetes.ContainerTemplate>
      </containers>
      <envVars/>
      <annotations/>
      <imagePullSecrets/>
      <nodeProperties/>
    </org.csanchez.jenkins.plugins.kubernetes.PodTemplate>

From the log output The sync plugin seems to be working.

But when i check the Jenkins kubernetes plugin configurations, i dont see any pod templates defined. I should see the one from my configMap right ? Am i missing a step here ?

Please help.

Thanks.
