<p>I am new to k8s and trying to setup prometheus monitoring for k8s. I used 
"helm install" to setup prometheus. Now:</p>

<ol>
<li>two pods are still in pending state:

<ul>
<li>prometheus-server</li>
<li>prometheus-alertmanager</li>
</ul></li>
<li>I manually created persistent volume for both 
Can anyone help me with how to map these PV with PVC created by helm chart?</li>
</ol>
