Keel updating cp-kafka:7.9.1 to incorrect cp-kafka:3.0.0 older version

[gauravakto]

I have a pod with 3 containers my-app, zoo-keeper, kafka. Is it possible to apply keel only to my-app.

I don't want to update zoo-keeper and kafka. Keel is updating kafka and zookeper to the incorrect version ?

kubectl describe deployment

  annotations:
    deployment.kubernetes.io/revision: '4'
    keel.sh/policy: force
    keel.sh/pollSchedule: '@every 60m'
    keel.sh/trigger: poll
    kubernetes.io/change-cause: >-
      keel automated update, version 7.9.1-1-ubi8 -> 3.0.0
      [2025-06-23T10:02:07Z]

Keel logs

@gauravakto try with this annotation

"keel.sh/monitorContainers" = "^app"

The value is a regular expression that limits what containers Keel actuates on. It is not documented, and was introduced a couple of versions ago.

Thanks @david-garcia-garcia I can confirm this is working. But we might still want to look into the RCA why is 7.9.1-1-ubi8 getting degraded to 3.0.0. If you have any pointers on where to look I can spend some time debugging this over the weekend.
