What happened?

Description

I am specifying a configmap which contains the collector config and would like to pass it to the collector.

Steps to Reproduce

apiVersion: opentelemetry.io/v1alpha1
kind: OpenTelemetryCollector
spec:
  mode: deployment
  image: collector-image
  configmaps:
    - name: mycm
      mountpath: mypath
  args:
    config: /var/conf/mypath/configmap-mycm/config.yaml

Expected Result

Collector is started with ( omitted other fields )

    spec:
      containers:
      - args:
        - --config=/var/conf/mypath/configmap-mycm/config.yaml

Actual Result

( omitted other fields )

    spec:
      containers:
      - args:
        - --config=/conf/collector.yaml

Am I missing something or configuring the args in incorrect way?

I do see the config from confimap mounted correctly at the above location.

Thank you for viewing this.

This is expected behavior.

This is dup of #2871
