Maybe add a mention that it's about QName ?

I added a sentence about this in the "DNS name" section.

The FlowCollectorSlice instances won't take effect unless they are enabled in the FlowCollector. In OpenShift web console, configure this in the **Processor configuration** in **Slices configuration**. On the terminal, enter `oc edit flowcollector`, and configure the following under the **processor** section:

I reworded this so it's clearer. I didn't want to say "Slices configuration" first because you don't see this unless you click "Processor configuration" to open this up.

LGTM with just a minor comment (optional). Thanks @stleerh, very nice blog.

![FlowCollector - Metrics Configuration](flowcollector-metrics.png)<br>
Figure 6. Configure recording rules in the healthRules section.

Both the recording rules and alerts fall under the umbrella of **healthRules**. When you select a template for a health rule, you will also need to include the corresponding metric. That is done in the **include list** section. Don't worry; a warning will appear if you didn't include the necessary metric. For the DNS-related health rule, you also need to enable the `DNSTracking` feature in eBPF.

I think clarifying the inclusion of metrics is good advice, although it’s not always needed. Also, I’m not sure if it’s worth mentioning, but when you include a metric, you overwrite the metrics list, so the user will probably lose other metrics (this is something we’ve discussed improving in the near future).

Yes, this is what I experienced. I wasn't sure I wanted to mention it here, rather than to file an issue to improve this.
