+### Istio specific steps
+
+If you use **Istio** and have **Prometheus within Istio-system**, you'll need to do the following modification before following the install instructions.
+
+1. Get your `values.yaml` for your currently deployed Prometheus system (ex: `helm get values RELEASE_NAME [flags]`)
+1. Edit the values, under `additionalScrapeConfigs` insert an additional `job_name`:
+
+    ```yaml
+        - job_name: prometheus-rds-exporter
+        kubernetes_sd_configs:
+        - namespaces:
+            names:
+            - monitoring
+            role: endpoints
+    ```
+
+1. Apply the edited values (ex: `helm upgrade prometheus prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack -n istio-system -f values.yaml --version 62.2.1` - _add the repo if you haven't on helm, and change the repo if you're using another version_).

 ## Alternative
 
 [percona/rds_exporter](https://github.com/percona/rds_exporter) and [mtanda/rds_enhanced_monitoring_exporter](https://github.com/mtanda/rds_enhanced_monitoring_exporter) are great alternatives.
