+= Assigning tolerations to monitoring components
+
+You can assign tolerations to any of the monitoring stack components to enable moving them to tainted nodes.
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* Make sure you have the `cluster-monitoring-config` ConfigMap object with the `data/config.yaml` section.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Start editing the `cluster-monitoring-config` ConfigMap:
++
+----
+$ oc -n openshift-monitoring edit configmap cluster-monitoring-config
+----
+
+. Specify `tolerations` for the component:
++
+[source,yaml,subs=quotes]
+----
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: cluster-monitoring-config
+  namespace: openshift-monitoring
+data:
+  config.yaml: |
+    *_component_*:
+      tolerations:
+        *_tolerations specification_*
+----
++
+Substitute `<component>` and `<toleration specification>` accordingly.
++
+For example, a `kubectl taint nodes node1 key1=value1:NoSchedule` taint prevents the scheduler from placing pods in `foo: bar`. To make the `alertmanagerMain` component ignore that taint and to place `alertmanagerMain` in `foo: bar` normally, use this toleration:
++
+[source,yaml,subs=quotes]
+----
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: cluster-monitoring-config
+  namespace: openshift-monitoring
+data:
+  config.yaml: |
+    alertmanagerMain:
+      nodeSelector:
+        foo: bar
+      *tolerations:
+      - key: "key1"
+        operator: "Equal"
+        value: "value1"
+        effect: "NoSchedule"*
+----
+
+. Save the file to apply the changes. The new component placement configuration is applied automatically.
+
+.Additional resources
+
+* See the xref:../../nodes/scheduling/nodes-scheduler-taints-tolerations.adoc#nodes-scheduler-taints-tolerations[{product-title} documentation] on taints and tolerations.
+* See the link:https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/taint-and-toleration/[Kubernetes documentation] on taints and tolerations.
