+# instantiate-monitoringservice.yml
+# Adds the monitoringservice to the currently running pod
+# TODO: Due to some timing issues, the monitroing service synchronizer is not completely getting
+# onboarded with in the retries of onboard-monitoringservice.yml, so the ansible script would
+# eventually fail. Until it is fixed, once monitoring service synchronizer is ready, run this
+# ansible playbook which has only tasks for instantiating the monitoring service models.
