Switch off continuous discovery by Kubernetes Visibility Agent if all you need is periodic snapshots of your cluster resources. If you have multiple clusters with frequent changes, deactivating continuous discovery reduces the load on your
instance.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## Procedure

Do one of the following:

* When using a Helm chart, in the Helm install command, add the following command line argument: `--set continuousDiscovery=false`

* When using the k8s_informer.yaml, enter the value "false" in the line under CONTINUOUS_DISCOVERY.
