Big Bang integration

When Big Bang monitoring and metric scraping are enabled, the umbrella enables the monitor subchart, exporter, ServiceMonitor, and service. The package also adds a Grafana dashboard ConfigMap in the monitoring namespace.

The umbrella creates a read-only metrics user and exporter password, then reuses the existing exporter Secret on reconciliation. This avoids using the NeuVector administrator account and avoids an unexpected password rotation. Do not set a static password or copy credentials into a values file. Exporter authentication, TLS, and metric details are owned by the versioned upstream monitor chart and exporter project.

helm lint chart does not confirm that Prometheus can scrape the target. Verify the ServiceMonitor target and dashboard data in an approved integration environment after changing monitoring, mesh, or network-policy configuration.
