After removing and re-adding the openshift.io/cluster-monitoring label to the openshift-windows-machine-config-operator namespace, no events are generated as expected. Additionally, there are no relevant logs in the operator that indicate this action

    Operator Version: 10.18.0-0ceb106

    Always reproducible.

1. Run the following command to remove the label from the openshift-windows-machine-config-operator namespace:
#oc label namespace openshift-windows-machine-config-operator openshift.io/cluster-monitoring-



2.Re-add the label using the following command:
#oc label namespace openshift-windows-machine-config-operator openshift.io/cluster-monitoring=true



3.Check for events in the namespace:
#oc get events -n openshift-windows-machine-config-operator



4.Check the operator logs:
#oc logs -n openshift-windows-machine-config-operator deployment/windows-machine-config-operator -f

    No events are generated in the namespace after removing or re-adding the label.
The operator logs do not contain any relevant information about the label change.

An event should be generated indicating that monitoring is disabled when the label is removed.
An event should be generated indicating that monitoring is enabled when the label is re-added.
